    Verse 1
    Well, 
    caught 
    my 
    wife 
    with 
    another 
    man 

    And 
    it 
    cost 
    me 
    ninety-nine 

    On 
    prison 
    farm 
    in 
    Georgia 

    Close 
    to 
    the 
    Florida 
    line 

    Well, 
    I'd 
    been 
    here 
    for 
    two 
    long 
    years 

    finally 
    made 
    the 
    warden 
    my 
    friend 

    And 
    so 
    he 
    sentenced 
    me 
    to 
    life 
    of 
    ease 

    Takin' 
    care

    Verse 2
    Now, 
    Ol' 
    Red, 
    he's 
    the 
    damnedest 
    dog 

    That 
    I've 
    ever 
    seen 

    Got 
    nose 
    that 
    can 
    smell 
    two-day 
    trail 

    He's 
    four 
    legged 
    tracking' 
    machine 

    You 
    can 
    con
    sider 
    yourself 
    mighty 
    lucky 

    To 
    get 
    past 
    the 
    gators 

    and 
    the 
    quicksand 
    beds 

    But 
    all 
    these 
    years 
    that 
    I've 
    been 
    here 

    Ain't 
    nobody 
    got 
    past 
    Red 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    the

    Verse 3
    Well, 
    paid 
    off 
    the 
    guard 

    and 
    slipped 
    out 
    letter 

    To 
    my 
    cousin 
    up 
    in 
    Tennessee 

    Oh 
    and 
    he 
    brought 
    down

    'Bout 
    mile 
    just 
    south 
    of

    And 
    I'd 
    take 
    Ol' 
    Red 
    for 
    his 
    evening 
    run

    off 
    and 
    wait

    • 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.
