    He's 
    raised 
    Verse 1
    in the 
    swamp, 

    in 
    back of 
    a spoon. 

    He 
    grew 
    up eatin' 
    rattlesnake 
    meat, 

    drinkin' 
    homemade 
    brew. 

    The 
    folks here 
    about 
    call 
    him Gator, 

    and 
    everybody 
    knows 
    him well 

    Been 
    as man 
    ever 
    hit the 
    swamp, 

    folks 
    swear he 
    come straight 

    out of 
    hell 

    Well, 
    Gator 
    McCluskey 

    sittin' 
    on a 
    stump 

    Hammer 
    pulled 
    back 
    on a 
    12 

    -gauge 
    pump 

    Watchin' 
    that swamp, 

    lookin' 
    out 
    for the 
    law 

    While 
    he 
    make 
    the best 
    corn 
    liquor 

    you 
    ever 
    saw 

    Rotten 
    good 
    whiskey. 

    Heh 
    heh. 

    While 
    he's 
    makin' 
    that 
    mash, 

    he watches 
    and 
    he looks. 

    Oh Gator, 
    he knows 
    that swamp 

    like 
    book. 

    Somethin' 
    out 
    there 
    movin', 

    Gator, 
    what do 
    you see? 

    Ain't 
    nothin' 
    but the 
    snakes 

    and the 
    gators 
    and 
    me. 

    Everything's 
    okey 
    -dokey 

    and 
    okey 
    -pa -nokey. 

    That 
    chef 
    ain't 
    snoopin' 
    around. 

    So 
    cook 
    that 
    moonshine 
    down 

    till 
    it's 
    good 
    and clear. 

    Everything's 
    okie 
    -dokie 

    and 
    they're okie 
    for nokie 

    That 
    chef, 
    he'd 
    soon 
    mess 

    around 
    with 
    the 
    devil 

    And he'd 
    get 
    himself 
    lost 

    messing 
    around 
    in here 

    One 
    day 
    he was 
    cooking 
    some 
    mags 

    He was 
    almost 
    done 
    when he 

    spot
    ted 
    the 
    Lord 

    And 
    he 
    had to 
    run, 

    so 
    he 
    headed 
    for the 
    swamp 

    And he 
    followed 
    him in

    but the 
    Lord 

    might 
    as well 
    have been chasing 

    the wind 

    Look out 
    for that 
    snake, 
    Sheriff. 

    Well, 
    they chased 
    him on 

    back 
    to the 
    muck 
    and the slime, 

    To the 
    back of 
    that 
    swamp 

    where the 
    sun 
    don't 
    shine, 

    But the 
    law 
    won't 
    never 
    catch 
    a gator, 

    my 
    friend, 

    Cause 
    he 
    knows 
    that 
    swamp 

    like the 
    back 
    of his 
    hand. 

    Watch 
    out, 
    boys, 
    those smokers 

    and 
    the okie 
    -dokie, 

    The 
    Sheriff's 
    out 
    there 
    snooping 
    around, 

    So 
    shut 
    that 
    business 
    down 

    and 
    let's 
    disappear. 

    Look 
    out, 
    boys, 
    old 

    Smoke 
    is 
    in 
    the oaky 
    pan
    okey 

    But 
    that 
    Shep, 

    he's 
    really 
    gonna 
    catch 
    the dev
    il 

    If he 
    keeps 
    on 
    scoopin' 

    around 
    in 
    here 

    Gators 
    in 
    the 
    smoke, 
    Shep 

    Go 
    get 
    him, 
    if 
    you 
    can 

    Careful 
    Cheryl, 
    don't 
    let 
    that 
    gator 
    bite 
    you 

    on 
    your golden 
    ass.

    • 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.
