  • Verse 1
    Well 
    it 
    was on 
    this Monday 
    morning 

    And 
    the day be 
    calm 
    and 
    fine 

    harbor 
    grace 
    excursion 

    With 
    the boys 
    who had 
    the time 

    And just 
    before 
    the sailor 

    Took 
    the gangway 
    from 
    the 
    pier 

    saw some 
    fellow 
    haul 
    me wife 

    Aboard as 
    a volunteer 

    [Chorus] 
    Oh me, 
    oh my, 
    Verse 2

    I heard 
    me old 
    wife 
    cry 

    Oh me, 
    oh my, 
    think 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    die! 

    Oh me, 
    oh my, 
    I heard 
    me old 
    wife say, 

    "I 
    wish I'd 
    never 
    taken 
    this 
    excursion 

    around 
    the bay" 

    We had 
    fourteen 
    hundred 
    Verse 3
    souls 
    aboard, 

    oh what a splendid 
    sight! 

    Left 
    strong 
    and regiment
    al 

    to 
    make 
    our spirits 
    bright 

    And 
    meself being 
    in 
    the double, 

    when 
    a funny thing
    they'd say 

    They 
    choke 
    themselves 
    from laughing 

    when 
    they'd see 
    us in 
    the bay 

    Verse 4

    [Chorus] 

    Me 
    wife 

    she 
    got no 
    better, 

    she 
    turned 
    a sickly green 

    I fed her 
    cake 
    and 
    candy, 

    fat 
    pork 
    and kerosene 

    Castor 
    Oil 
    and sug
    ar of 
    candy, 

    I rubbed 
    pure 
    oil 
    on her face 

    And I 
    said 
    she'll be 
    dandy 
    when 
    we 
    reaches 
    Harbor 

    Grace! 

    Interlude 1



    [Chorus] 
    My 
    wife 
    she got 
    no 
    Verse 5

    better

    my 
    wife 
    me darling 
    dear 

    The 
    screeches 
    from her 
    trolley 

    could 
    hear 
    in 
    Carbonear 

    I tried 
    every 
    place 
    in Harbor 
    Grace, 

    Tried 
    every 
    store 
    and shop, 

    To 
    get 
    her something 
    for 
    a cure 
    or take 
    her to 

    the 
    hop 

    Interlude 2



    [Chorus] 
    Verse 6

    She died 
    below 
    the 
    brandy's 

    as 
    we 
    were coming 
    back 

    We 
    buried 
    her 
    in the 
    ocean, 

    wrapped 
    up 
    in a Uni
    on 
    Jack 

    So 
    now 
    I am 
    a single 
    man, 

    in search 
    of a pretty 
    face 

    And the 
    woman 
    that says 
    she'll 
    have 
    me, 

    I'm 
    off 
    for Harbor 
    Grace! 

    Outro 1
    [Chorus]

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
