    Verse 1
    I love 
    my 
    baby 

    like 
    a bull 
    dog 
    loves 
    his bone 

    Last 
    night 
    she 
    got 
    crazy, 

    called 
    me up 
    on 
    the 
    phone 

    Said, 
    "Come 
    on 
    over, daddy 

    'Cause I 
    hates 
    drinkin' 
    alone" 

    Verse 2
    Said, 
    "I had 
    me 
    a little 
    and 

    I had 
    to have 
    a little 
    more 

    Try 
    to get 
    up, 
    could 
    not 
    get out 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    there's 
    a 
    big 
    ole snake 

    That's crawlin' 
    right 
    across 

    the floor" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    My 
    baby's 
    not 
    afraid 
    to 

    take 
    a chance 

    Drinkin' 
    whiskey 
    starts 
    her 

    thinkin' 
    about 
    romance 

    That's 
    when 
    she 
    wants 

    what 
    I 
    keep 
    in 
    my 
    pants 

    Verse 4
    I 
    know 
    she's 
    got 
    a few 
    trick

    s up 
    her sleeve 

    When she 
    gets 
    hot 
    it's 
    not 
    hard to 
    believe 

    So 
    I 
    told 
    my 
    baby 

    Just 
    what 
    Adam 
    said 
    to 
    Eve 

    Verse 5
    Hold 
    that snake 
    'til I 
    make 
    it 

    Hold on 
    'til 
    your daddy 
    gets 
    there 

    Just 
    grab 
    his 
    head 
    and shake 
    it 

    Verse 6
    Tell 
    him be ain't 
    goin' 
    nowhere 

    Take 
    it easy 
    but 
    take 
    it 

    But 
    don't 
    let 
    go 
    of that snake 

    'Til 
    I 
    make 







    it

    • 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.”
