  • Verse 1
    Now, 
    all these men, 

    they've had 
    varying 
    experi
    ences 

    with 
    the kind 
    of thing 

    we're 
    about to talk 
    to you about 
    now. 

    We're 
    talk
    ing about 
    be
    ing 
    poor. 

    Now, 
    being 
    poor 
    is not 
    a sin, 

    but 
    can 
    you 
    ima
    gine being 
    poor 

    and living 
    in New 
    York? 

    That's 
    death, 
    folks, 

    that 
    is death. 

    Do you know, 
    said 
    death, 

    that's what 
    I said, 

    in New York, 
    to be 
    poor. 

    Can 
    you imagine, 

    they don't 
    even have any 
    alleys 

    for 
    you to sleep 
    in. 

    Cost you 
    money to 
    relieve your

    self in 
    New 
    York. 

    It's 
    ridiculous. 
    went 
    to 
    New York, 

    and I 
    had 
    such a 
    wonderful time, 

    but 
    I went there 
    with Count 
    Macy, 


    so I was making 
    some money. 

    you know 
    had a 

    great black 
    father 

    whatever 
    you want to call 
    it 

    so 
    didn't 
    have any problems 

    but 
    saw friends 
    around me 

    that 
    had a 
    whole lot 
    of 
    problems 

    now 
    it's 
    not bad 
    enough 
    being 
    pulled 

    now 
    you got to 
    have a girl 

    that's 
    got a 
    heroin 
    habit 

    junkie 
    brought 
    listen 

    monkey 
    woman 

    that's 
    what you 
    can you 
    dig 
    where we coming 
    from 
    monkey 

    wo
    man 
    you 
    know meaning 
    she got a 
    mon
    key on 
    her back, 

    or 
    maybe by the 
    size of her 
    hair, 

    but a 
    gorilla, 
    can 
    you dig 
    it? 

    And 
    now you got 
    to live 
    with this. 

    So 
    one day, 
    out 
    of left 
    field, 
    you 
    say, 

    well, I think 
    maybe I'll 
    go somewhere, 

    may
    be to 
    a gambling 
    establish
    ment 

    or 
    anywhere. 

    Or you 
    go to work 
    one day, 

    an
    you suddenly 
    have a 
    payday. 

    And instead 
    of 
    going home, 

    you 
    say to yourself, 

    Well, I 
    think I'm going 
    to 

    take another 
    city foot 

    while 
    I still 
    can 
    breathe. 

    Because right 
    now, 

    the situation 
    is 
    stifling 
    me. 

    Listen. 
    You 
    keep 
    your New 
    York joy. 

    I'm 
    going to 
    Illinois 
    just 

    as fast 
    as 
    I can. 

    You 
    New 
    York 
    women 

    think 
    you make 
    fool 
    of 
    any 
    man. 

    You 
    play all 
    kind of 
    games, 

    an
    you cheat 
    if you 
    can, 

    you're chippy. 

    Use 
    love 
    like a 
    tool 

    and 
    make a man 
    fool, 

    what 
    a beautiful 
    model. 

    but 
    got my 
    money 
    and that's 
    it 

    how 
    can 
    you mind 
    if I 
    split me 
    go
    ing 
    back 

    where a 
    woman knows 
    the 
    way 
    to treat 
    a man 

    and 
    people 
    are 
    friendly 

    with 
    no 
    hid
    den 
    plan 

    It 
    is the 
    best 
    in 
    the 
    Midwest 

    It's 
    a real 
    down 
    city 

    full 
    of 
    good 
    folks 

    who 
    come 
    from home 

    And 
    when 
    I get 
    back, 

    I'll 
    never roam 
    far 

    from 
    my 
    little shy 
    town 

    Good
    bye, 
    farewell, 
    woman, 

    I'm gonna 
    see

    sorry 
    but I 
    can

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      "

      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.
