    I got 
    a fever 
    in my 
    bones, 

    feet's 
    full of sand, 

    my head's full 
    of 
    stone. 

    I got 
    a fever 
    in my 
    bones, 

    for the no count 
    daughter of 

    old Jeb 
    Jones. 

    Jeb 
    Jones' 
    daughter has 
    yellow hair, 

    folks all 
    say that 
    she ain't all 
    there. 

    Down in 
    the holler the 
    boys all 
    fol
    low, 

    Jeb Jones' 
    daughter with 

    a low neck 
    collar. 

    She 
    can't 
    cook and 
    she can't 
    sew 

    She 
    roams 
    the woods like 
    a 
    yelling doe 

    One, 
    two, three, come 
    and 
    follow me 

    Let 
    Jeb Jones' 
    daughter to 

    the sycamore 
    tree 

    Oh, 
    I got 
    a fever 
    in my 
    bones 

    Feet 
    full 
    of sand on 
    head
    s full 
    of stones 

    I 
    got 
    a fever 
    in my 
    bones 

    For 
    the no -count 
    daughter of 

    old Jeb 
    Jones 

    She 
    ain't 
    the kind I'd 
    marry with 

    She 
    ain't 
    the kind I'd 
    tarry with 

    Don't 
    look 
    now if 
    I break my 
    bow, 

    she 
    might be 
    strolling by 

    the old hay 
    mow. 

    She's got 
    a way to 
    handle men, 

    kicks them 
    around to 
    the 
    back again. 

    Gotta go 
    petticoat 
    short of 
    the 
    news, 

    pop goes 
    the jug, 

    then it's her 
    -er -er 
    me -o. 

    I've 
    got a 
    fever 
    in 
    my bones, 

    feet's 
    full of 
    sand 

    and 
    the 
    head's 
    full 
    of 
    stone. 

    I've 
    got 
    a fever 
    in 
    my bones 

    for the 
    no 
    -count 
    daugh
    ter 
    of 
    old 
    Jeff 

    Jones. 





    I've 
    got a 
    love 
    for 
    apple 
    pie 

    I've 
    got a 
    love 
    who's 
    sweet 
    and shy 

    Don't 
    need to 
    ask 
    which 
    is be
    st 

    Take 
    a little 
    bite 
    and you 
    know 
    the 
    rest 

    Oh, 
    what 
    can you 
    do 
    when you 
    like 
    her? 

    Flings 
    through your 
    heart 
    like 

    a whistle 
    -down 
    bird 

    Kiss 
    her once, 
    do 
    no more 

    Tomorrow 
    comes 
    and 

    you're knockin' 
    at 
    her 
    door 

    Oh, 
    I've 
    got 
    a 
    fever 
    in 
    my bones 

    Feet's 
    full of 
    sand 

    and 
    the head's 
    full of 
    stone 

    I've 
    got 
    a 
    fever 
    in 
    my bones 

    For 
    the no 
    -count 
    daugh

    ter 
    of 
    old 
    Jeb 
    Jones 

    I've 
    got 
    a weakness, 
    plain to 
    see 

    Ain't 
    no 
    cure for 
    the 
    pain in 
    me 

    Hair 
    of 
    gold, 
    I suppose 
    Je
    b Jones' 

    daughter sure 
    got a 
    hold

    One of these 
    days she'll 

    have a 
    shack
    , 

    plan to 
    marry with 
    a 
    gun in 
    back, 

    look and 
    see who 
    it could 
    be, 

    don't look 
    long cause 
    it might be 
    me. 

    Oh, 
    I ain't 
    got 
    a fever 
    in 
    my bones, 

    feet 
    for 
    sand 
    and a 
    hip 
    for stone, 

    I 
    ain't got 
    a 
    fever 
    in 
    my bones, 

    for 
    the no 
    -count 
    dollar 
    I'll 
    pull 
    Jet 
    Pro.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
