    Verse 1

    Mama's 
    got 
    baby 
    sleeping 
    in 
    a grocery 
    cart 

    Daddy's 
    eyes 
    are 
    hazy 
    wondering 
    where 

    they 
    are 

    Waiting 
    for 
    the buses, 

    wait
    ing 
    on 
    some 
    provid
    ence 

    Once 
    we 
    get 
    to 
    Houston, 

    maybe 
    it will 
    all 
    make 
    sense 

    Verse 2
    Praying 
    to 
    the 
    Father 
    and calling 

    for 
    the cav
    alry 

    Look 
    at 
    all 
    this 
    water 
    an
    d somehow 
    not 

    drop 
    to 
    drink 

    Now did 
    you 
    ever 
    hear 
    of 
    night
    mares 

    coming 
    in 
    the 
    light 
    of 
    day? 

    Once 
    we 
    get 
    to Houston, 

    maybe 
    they'll 
    just 
    wash 
    away 

    Roll 
    Verse 3
    on 
    Mississippi, 

    good
    bye 
    Cres
    cent 
    City 

    Le 
    bon 
    temp 
    New 
    Orleans, 
    never 
    com
    ing 
    back 
    to 
    stay 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Never 
    been 
    to Texas, 

    hope 
    this 
    bus 
    is on 
    tear 

    Never 
    seen 
    the President, 

    maybe 
    he 
    will 
    lead 
    us 
    there 

    And 
    never 
    knew 
    a promise 
    that 

    didn't 
    break 
    right 
    in 
    two 

    Once 
    we 
    get 
    to 
    Houston, 

    maybe 
    one 
    will 
    come 
    true 

    Verse 5
    Roll 
    on 
    Mississippi, 

    good
    bye 
    Crescent 
    City 

    Le bon 
    temp 
    New 
    Orleans, 

    never 
    com
    ing 
    back 
    to you 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6
    Last 
    night 
    I dreamed 
    of 
    rain 

    but golden 
    light 
    was all 
    saw 

    heard 
    my 
    old 
    dog 
    barking, 

    went 
    to see 
    Mardi 
    Gras 

    And 
    stood 
    up 
    on 
    the banks 
    and 

    looked 
    out 
    over 
    Pontchartrain 

    woke 
    up 
    here 
    in 
    Houston, 

    didn't 
    even 
    know 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 7
    Roll 
    on 
    Mississippi, 

    good
    bye 
    Crescent 
    City 

    Le 
    bon 
    temp 
    New 
    Orleans, 

    never 
    com
    ing 
    back 
    again 

    Verse 8
    Roll 
    on 
    Mississippi, 
    good
    bye 
    Crescent 
    City

    • 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.
