    Well, 
    Mama 
    caught 
    Papa 

    just 
    as 
    slick 
    as 
    any 
    man 
    was 
    ever 
    caught 

    Yeah, 
    when 
    she 
    got 
    through, 

    I 
    guess 
    the 
    old 
    boy 
    knew 
    she 
    was 
    boss 

    She 
    said, 
    Paul, 

    you 
    gotta 
    straighten 
    up 
    a 
    buddy, 

    I'm 
    -a 
    gonna 
    wear 
    the 
    pants 

    Old 
    Papa's 
    tryin', 
    he's 
    a 
    man, 

    and 
    I 
    don't 
    think 
    he 
    can 

    There's 
    been 
    something 
    wrong 

    with 
    a 
    man 
    ever 
    since 
    the 
    begin
    ning 

    He 
    keeps 
    on 
    a 
    -losin', 

    that's 
    why 
    he's 
    never 
    ever 
    win
    nin' 

    Well, 
    he 
    wants 
    him 
    a 
    sweet 

    thing 
    for 
    his 
    wife 

    But 
    then 
    he 
    keeps 
    on 
    a 
    -lookin' 

    for 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    his 
    life 

    And 
    that's 
    how 
    Mama 
    caught 
    Papa 

    just 
    as 
    slick 
    as 
    she 
    was 
    ever 
    caught 

    Mama 
    put 
    on 
    a 
    wig 
    and 
    she 
    danced 

    a 
    little 
    jig 
    down 
    the 
    sound 
    floor 

    She 
    got 
    a 
    wink 
    from 
    his 
    eye 

    and 
    all 
    had 
    a 
    smile 
    on 
    his 
    face 

    He 
    got 
    to 
    actin' 
    right 
    smart 

    and 
    a 
    jumpin' 
    right 
    silly 

    He 
    didn't 
    know 
    more, 

    he 
    thought 
    he 
    found 
    a 
    new 
    filly 

    And 
    that's 
    how 
    Mama 
    called 
    Papa 

    just 
    as 
    slick 
    as 
    he 
    was 
    ever 

    thought 

    Well, 
    a 
    preacher 
    got 
    upset, 

    a 
    man 
    in 
    hell's 
    been 
    a 
    -flirtin' 

    He'd 
    pass 
    the 
    plate 
    if 

    he don't 
    put 
    in 
    five, 

    it'd 
    be a 
    hurtin' 

    There 
    must 
    have 
    been 
    doubt 

    with 
    the 
    N 
    .I. 
    crowd 

    because 
    the 
    truth 
    they 
    did 
    reveal 

    Cause 
    when 
    the 
    plate 
    got 
    back 

    he 
    counted 
    forty 
    -nine 
    five 

    dollar 
    bills 

    That's 
    how mama 
    caught 
    papa 

    just 
    as 
    slick 
    as 
    he 
    was 
    ever 
    caught 

    She 
    got 
    through, 

    I think 
    the 
    old 
    boy 
    knew 
    she 
    was 
    caught 

    Well, 
    she 
    said, 
    Paul, 

    you 
    gotta 
    straighten 
    up, 
    buddy, 

    I'm 
    -a 
    gonna 
    wear 
    the 
    pants 

    Well, 
    I 
    keep 
    trying, 
    I'm a 
    man 

    and 
    I 
    don't 
    think 
    I 
    can

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
