    Verse 1
    What 
    ails 
    you, 
    my 
    daughter 
    dear? 

    Your 
    eyes, 
    they 
    look 
    so 
    dim, 

    Have 
    you 
    had 
    any 
    sore 
    sickness, 

    Or 
    yet 
    been sleeping 
    with 
    a man? 

    Verse 2
    No 
    haven't 
    had 
    any 
    sore 
    sickness, 

    But I 
    know 
    what's 
    ailing 
    me, 

    I am thinking 
    of 
    my 
    own 
    true 
    love 

    Who ploughs 
    the 
    raging 
    sea. 

    Verse 3

    Is 
    he 
    Lord 
    or 
    a Duke 
    or 
    knight 

    Or 
    man 
    of 
    wealth 
    and 
    fame? 

    Or 
    is 
    he 
    one 
    of 
    our sailor 
    lads 

    Come 
    tell 
    me 
    now 
    his 
    name. 

    Verse 4
    He 
    is 
    no 
    Lord 
    nor 
    Duke 
    nor 
    knight 

    Nor 
    a man 
    of 
    wealth 
    or 
    fame. 

    He 
    is 
    one 
    of 
    your 
    sailor 
    lads 

    John 
    Bar
    bour 
    is 
    his 
    name. 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    if 
    John 
    Barbour 
    is 
    his 
    name, 

    A lowly 
    sailor 
    man 
    is 
    he, 

    If 
    John 
    Barbour 
    is 
    his 
    name, 

    Then 
    hanged 
    he 
    shall 
    be. 

    Interlude 1


    Then he 
    called 
    his 
    sailors 
    Verse 6
    all 

    By 
    one, 
    by 
    two, 
    by 
    three 

    John 
    Barbour 
    was 
    the 
    first 
    he 
    called 

    But 
    the last 
    came 
    down 
    was 
    he. 

    Verse 7
    When 
    he 
    came 
    dancing 
    down, 

    He 
    was 
    clothed 
    all 
    in 
    white 

    His 
    cheeks 
    were 
    like 
    the roses 
    red 

    And 
    his teeth 
    were 
    ivory 
    bright. 

    Verse 8
    He 
    paid 
    their 
    wages 
    with 
    smile 

    And to 
    John 
    Barbour 
    he 
    did 
    say 

    If 
    I was 
    a woman 
    as 
    am 
    a man 

    My 
    bed 
    fellow 
    you 
    would be. 

    Verse 9
    And 
    will 
    you 
    marry 
    my 

    daughter 
    Jane? 

    And take 
    her 
    by 
    the 
    hand 

    And 
    will 
    you 
    come 
    and 
    dine 
    with 
    me 

    Take 
    charge 
    of 
    all 
    my 
    lands. 

    Verse 10
    Yes 
    will 
    marry 
    your 
    daughter 
    Jane 

    And 
    take 
    her 
    by 
    the 
    hand 

    And 
    will 
    come 
    and 
    dine 
    with 
    you, 

    But 
    to 
    hell 
    with 
    all 
    your 
    land. 

    Verse 11
    For if 
    you 
    can 
    give 
    her 
    one 
    gold 
    piece, 

    Then 
    can 
    give 
    her 
    three. 

    For 
    they 
    call me 
    young 

    John 
    Bar
    bour 

    And I 
    plough 
    the 
    raging 
    sea.

    • 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.
