    My name 
    is 
    Patrick 
    Russell, 
    Verse 1

    I've 
    led 
    a Chris
    tian 
    life 

    I sit 
    here 
    in New 
    Hampton, 

    the 
    year 
    is 
    1910 

    Look
    ing 
    back 
    from 
    Iowa 

    towards 
    Mother 
    Ireland. 

    I 
    was 
    born 
    in 
    Templemore 

    in 
    1825 

    Recalled 
    a 
    happy 
    boyhood 
    un

    til 
    my 
    mother 
    died 

    Starvation 
    crept 
    across 
    the 
    land, 

    America's 
    our 
    dream 

    Six 
    cruel 
    weeks 
    on 
    stormy 
    seas 
    aboard 

    the ship 
    Tyrene. 

    American 
    primitive 
    man, 

    in 
    an 
    American 
    primit
    ive 
    land 

    I washed 
    my 
    face 
    in 
    a 
    frying 
    pan, 

    American 
    primitive 
    man. 

    At 
    last 
    we 
    docked 
    in 
    old 
    Quebec, 

    the 
    English 
    offered 
    farm 
    and 
    ground 

    But 
    we'd 
    lived 
    too 
    long 
    under 
    English 
    rule, 

    to 
    United 
    States 
    we're 
    bound 

    By 
    train 
    and 
    then 
    by 
    cattle 
    boat, 

    aw 
    the filth 
    down 
    in 
    that 
    hold 

    We 
    landed 
    in 
    Milwal

    kee, trekked 
    200 miles 
    or more 

    A sack 
    of 
    new 
    pota
    toes 

    was 
    carried 
    by 
    each 
    man 

    Four 
    spades 
    for cultiv
    ation 

    we'd 
    brought 
    from 
    Ire
    land 

    We 
    worked 
    at splitting 
    rail
    road 
    ties, 

    bought 
    one 
    old 
    milking 
    cow 

    A quarter 
    section 
    uncleared 
    land, 

    two 
    oxen 
    and 
    a plough 

    At 
    night 
    we 
    heard 
    the 
    wolves 
    howl 
    on 

    our 
    newly 
    purchased 
    farm 

    And starving 
    lads 
    from 
    the 
    civil 

    war 
    took 
    shelter 
    in 
    our 
    barn. 

    The 
    Larsens and 
    the 
    Cooneys, the 

    Russells 
    the 
    Molloys 

    We 
    tilled 
    the soil 
    of 
    Iowa 
    and 
    grew 

    a spate 
    of 
    girls 
    and 
    boys. 

    American 
    primitive 
    man, 

    in 
    an 
    American 
    primitive 
    land 

    A 
    whiskey 
    still 
    in 
    an 
    oatmeal 
    can
    , 

    American 
    primitive 
    man 

    I'm 
    an 
    American 
    primitive 

    Outro 1

      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 🙂

      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.
