  • Verse 1

    There 
    once lived 
    man, 

    he came 
    from Mexico 

    They called 
    him poor 
    hobo, 

    his name 
    was Lone
    some 
    Joe 

    He 
    would ride 
    the 
    blinds, 

    ride 
    the rods 
    below 

    The cinder
    s from 
    the 
    freight 

    had scarred 
    his face 
    you 
    know 

    Verse 2
    He 
    knew every 
    rail, 
    he 
    knew every 
    tie 

    He 
    knew every 
    water 
    tank 
    that he 

    passed 
    by 

    And everywhere 
    he 
    went 

    they called 
    him poor 
    hobo 

    He lived 
    a lonesome 
    life, 

    his name 
    was Lonesome 
    Joe 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    He 
    knew every 
    house 

    and every 
    store 

    Where they 
    would give 

    hand 
    to 
    a poor 
    hobo 

    He 
    would tip 
    his 
    hat 
    in 
    the nicest 
    way 

    And 
    he'd bow 
    real 
    low 
    in 

    a grace
    ful 
    way 

    Verse 4
    He'd eat 
    a country 
    ham 
    and 

    enjoy 
    the 
    fat 

    He'd take 
    a hard 
    boiled 
    egg 

    and put 
    it in 
    his 
    hat 

    He'd ask 
    to mow 
    your 
    lawn 

    in 
    a tone 
    of 
    woe 

    You know 
    he'd never 
    work 
    this lonesome 

    poor 
    hobo 

    Interlude 2




    Verse 5
    His shoes 
    were always 
    worn, 
    sometimes 

    they wouldn't 
    match 

    His hat 
    was always 
    flopped, 

    his clothes 
    were al
    ways 
    patched 

    He had 
    the finest 
    watch 
    on 

    the finest 
    chain 

    He'd keep 
    the closest 
    time 
    on 

    the fast
    est 
    train 

    Verse 6
    I've seen 
    him catch 
    freight, 

    the best 
    in 
    the 
    land 

    I've seen 
    him grab 
    freight, 

    a sand
    wich 
    in his 
    hand 

    He saw 
    all 
    the 
    world 
    but never 

    made 
    no 
    dough 

    He died 
    a happy 
    man 
    his name 

    was Lone
    some 
    Joe

    • 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.
