    Verse 1
    was 
    born 
    down 
    in 
    the 

    bottoms 
    of 
    the 
    flat 
    black 
    Delta 
    land 

    grew 
    up 
    picking 
    cotton 
    in 

    the Mississippi 
    sand 

    My 
    mama 
    said 
    son 
    take 
    that 
    girl 

    and 
    go 
    make 
    her 
    your 
    wife 

    Or 
    you'll 
    be 
    stuck 
    here 
    in 

    this 
    mud 
    all 
    of 
    your 
    life 

    Verse 2

    Will 
    the 
    water 
    roll 
    it 
    all 
    way 

    this 
    secret 
    that 
    hold 

    Will 
    the 
    water 
    roll 
    it 
    all 
    away 
    will 

    it cleanse 
    my 
    aching 
    soul 

    But 
    a man's 
    gotta 
    make 
    it 
    some

    time 
    a man's 
    gotta 
    take 
    a stand 

    Or 
    he'll 
    get 
    left 
    in 
    the Mississippi 
    sand 

    Verse 3

    stranger 
    came 
    to 
    town 
    with 
    two 

    torn 
    shoes 
    upon 
    his 
    feet 

    Singing 
    songs 
    of 
    sadness 
    picking 

    girls 
    off 
    of 
    the street 

    He 
    made 
    little 
    bit 
    of 
    music 

    was 
    leader 
    of 
    a band 

    And 
    they 
    call 
    him 
    the 

    muddy 
    Mississippi 
    band 

    Verse 4

    My 
    girl 
    was 
    Ruby 
    Colter 

    and 
    she 
    was 
    on 
    her 
    teens 

    took 
    her 
    out 
    to 
    churches 
    to 

    socials 
    schools 
    an
    d things 

    She 
    was 
    rose 
    just 
    right 
    for 
    picking 

    and 
    he 
    nipped 
    her 
    in 
    the 
    bud 

    And 
    he 
    left 
    her 
    here 
    in 
    the 

    Mississippi 
    mud 

    Verse 5

    Will 
    the 
    water 
    roll 
    it 
    all 
    way 

    this 
    secret 
    that 
    hold 

    Will 
    the wa
    ter

    Verse 6
    Then 
    me 
    and 
    old 
    Carl 
    we 
    caught 

    him 
    right 
    down 
    by 
    the store 

    We 
    choked 
    him 
    just 
    a little 
    bit 

    and 
    held 
    him 
    to 
    the 
    floor 

    We 
    relived 
    him 
    of 
    his 
    pocketbook 

    his 
    blood 
    and 
    other 
    things 

    Now 
    the 
    Mississippi 
    man's 

    no 
    longer 
    mean 

    Verse 7

    Will 
    the 
    water 
    roll 
    it all 
    way 

    this 
    secret 
    that 
    hold 

    Will 
    the 
    water 
    roll 
    it 
    all 
    away 
    will 

    it 
    cleanse 
    my 
    aching 
    soul 

    But 
    a man's 
    gotta 
    make 
    it some

    time 
    a man's 
    gotta 
    take 
    a stand 

    Or 
    he'll 
    get left 
    in 
    the 
    Mississippi

    • 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.
