  • Verse 1
    Down 

    on the 
    farm we 
    had 

    a pig, J. 
    Edgar 
    was his 
    name 

    He'd 
    eat 
    up all 
    our victuals 

    and 
    start back 
    up again 

    Just 
    like 
    them vacuum 
    cleaners 

    they 
    sell down 
    in the 
    lane 

    Well, 
    that's 
    how 
    J. 
    Edgar 

    Hoover 
    got his 
    name 

    Verse 2
    Now, 
    momma 
    baked 
    a cherry 

    pie and 
    set it 
    out to 
    cool 

    So 
    we'd 
    have something 
    good to 

    eat when 
    we got 
    home from 
    school 

    J. 
    Edgar 
    climbed 
    up on the 
    porch 

    and 
    ate up 
    all that 
    pie 

    When 
    we got 
    home that 
    mornin' 

    we 
    heard 
    our mamma 
    cry 

    Verse 3
    J. 
    Edgar, 
    J. 
    Edgar, 

    just look 
    what you've 
    done 

    You 
    ate up the 
    cherry 
    pie that 

    was 
    for 
    every
    one 

    We 
    made 
    it through the 
    dusters, 

    and the 
    hoppers 
    too 

    But God 
    help 
    us, J. 
    Edgar, 

    'cause 
    nothin's 
    safe from 
    you 

    Verse 4

    We 
    had an 
    extra 
    man named 
    Bob 

    he 
    wouldn't 
    work 
    lick 

    He 
    drank bad 
    moonshine 
    likker, 

    and it 
    al
    ways 
    made 
    him 
    sick 

    We 
    rode 
    to church 
    on Sunday 

    and 
    stayed 
    a while 
    in 
    town 

    When 
    we reached 
    home at 
    suppertime, 

    poor 
    Bob could 
    not be 
    found 

    Verse 5
    He 
    wasn't 
    in the 
    parlor, 
    and he 

    wasn't 
    in the 
    lane 

    Drinking 
    in the 
    pantry 
    or 

    sleepin' 
    in the 
    hay 

    His 
    hat 
    was in the 
    pigpen, 

    that 
    he always 
    wore 

    Poor 
    Bob 
    won't be 
    drinking 

    moonshine 
    likker 
    any
    more 

    Verse 6
    J. 
    Edgar, 
    J. 
    Edgar 
    it just 

    don't seem 
    fair 

    You ate 
    Bob 
    our hired 
    hand 

    while 
    we were 
    at 
    prayer 

    Let's 
    say a 
    prayer for 
    old 
    Bob, 

    and 
    our country 
    too 

    God 
    help us 
    J. 
    Edgar, 

    nobody's 
    safe from 
    you

    • 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.
