They raised him on the banks of a riverbed

A houseboat tied to a big tall tree

Already Mama's cooking

Papa something to eat

At half past, Papa, he's ready to go

He jumps in his piero,
G

headed down the bayou
C
F

He's got fishin' lines strung

across the Louisiana river

Gotta catch a big fish for us two

He's settin' traps in the swamp,

catchin' anything he can

Gotta make a livin',

he's a Louisiana man

Gotta make a livin',

he's a Louisiana man
C

Muskrat hens are

hangin' by the dozen

Even got a lady mink, a muskrat's cousin

Got him out dryin' in the hot,

I can hardly wait until tomorrow

That's the day my Papa

takes the first to town

Papa promised me that I could go

He even let me see a cowboy show

I saw the cowboys and Indians

for the first time

  • 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.
