    • Verse 1

    Here 
    we 
    all work 
    on 
    the Mississip
    pi 

    Here 
    we 
    all work 
    while 

    the big boss 
    play 

    Pullin' 
    those 
    boats 
    from the 

    dawn to 
    sunset 

    Gettin' 
    no rest 
    till 
    the 

    judg
    ment 
    day 

    Don't 
    look up 
    and 
    don't 
    look down 

    You 
    don't dare 
    make 
    a 
    big boss 
    frown 

    Bend 
    your 
    knees 
    and 
    bow 
    your head 

    And 
    pull 
    that 
    rope un
    til 
    you're 
    dead 

    Oh, 
    let me go 
    away 
    from the 
    Mississippi 

    Let 
    me go 
    away 
    from the 

    big man 
    boss 

    Show 
    me 
    that 
    stream 
    called 

    the River 
    Jordan 

    That's 
    the 
    old stream 
    that 
    I long 
    to 

    cross. 

    Old 
    Man 
    River
    , 
    that 
    Old 
    Man 
    River, 

    He 
    must 
    know 
    something, 

    but 
    don't 
    say 
    noth
    ing 

    He 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling, 

    he keep
    s 
    on 
    rolling 

    along 

    He 
    don't 
    plant 
    taters, 

    he 
    don't 
    plant 
    cot
    ton, 

    and 
    them 
    that 
    plant some 

    is 
    soon 
    forgot
    ten. 

    But 
    old 
    Man 
    River, 

    he 
    just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along. 

    You 
    and 
    me, 
    we 
    sweat 
    and strain, 

    Body 
    all 
    aching 
    an
    d racked 
    with pain. 

    Tote 
    that barge, 
    and you lift 
    that bale! 

    You 
    get 
    a little 
    drunk 
    an
    d 
    you land 
    in 
    jail 

    I 
    get weary 
    and 
    sick 
    of tryin' 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of living, 

    and 
    I'm 
    scared of 
    dying, 

    but 
    old 
    Man 
    River
    , 

    he just 
    keeps 
    rolling 
    along.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
