    • Verse 1
    Here we all work 
    'long 
    the Mississippi 
    Here we all work 
    while the 
    white folk play 
    Pullin' them boats 
    from the dawn 
    till sunset 
    Gettin' no 
    rest 
    till 
    the judgment 
    day 
    Don't look up 
    and don't 
    look down 
    Ya don't dast 
    make the white 
    boss frown 
    Bend your 
    knees 
    and 
    bow your head 
    And pull 
    that rope 

    un
    til 
    you're 
    dead 
    Let me 
    go 'way 
    from the Mis
    sissippi 
    Let 
    me go 'way 
    from the 
    white man 
    boss 
    Show me that stream 
    called 
    the River 
    Jordan 
    That's the 
    old stream 
    that I 
    long 
    to 
    cross 
    INTRO> 
    Ol' Man 
    River, 
    that 
    Ol' Man 
    River 

    He 
    must 
    know 
    somepin', 

    but 
    he 
    don't say 
    nothin' 

    He 
    just 
    keep
    s 
    rollin', he 
    keeps 
    on 

    rollin' 
    along 

    He 
    don't plant 
    taters, 

    and 
    he 
    don't plant 
    cotton 

    And them 
    what 
    plants 

    'em is 
    soon 
    forgotten 

    But 
    Ol' 
    Man 
    River, 

    jest 
    keeps 
    rollin' 
    along 


    You 
    and 
    me, 

    we 
    sweat 
    and 
    strain 

    Bodies 
    all 
    achin' 
    and wracked 
    with 
    pain 

    Tote 
    that 
    barge 
    and 
    lift 
    that 
    bale 

    Ya 
    get 
    a little 
    drunk 
    and 
    ya lands 
    in 
    ja- ail 

    I 
    gets 
    weary 

    and 
    so 
    sick 
    of 
    tryin' 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    livin', 

    but 
    I'm 
    feared 
    of 
    dyin' 

    And 
    Ol' 
    Man 
    River, 

    he just 
    keeps 
    rollin' 
    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.
