    They raised him on the banks of a riverbed

    A houseboat tied to a big tall tree

    Home for my Papa and my Mama and me

    Already Mama's cooking
    C
    G

    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

    Got him out dryin' in the hot,

    hot sun

    It takes every bit of a night and a day
    G

    To even reach a place where the people stay
    C
    F

    I can hardly wait until tomorrow

    comes around

    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
    C

    I saw the cowboys and Indians

    for the first time
    G
    C
    G

    then I told my papa, gotta go again

    F

    He's got fishin' lines down

    across the Louisiana River

    Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat

    He's settin' traps in the swamp

    Catching anything you can

    Gotta make a living,

    he's a Louisiana man

    Gotta make a living,

    he's a Louisiana man

    Gotta make a living,

    he's a Louisiana man

    Gotta make a living,
    C

    • 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.
