    • Verse 1
    Well, 
    thank you 
    very much, 

    ladies and gentlemen. 

    It's 
    a pleasure to be back 

    with you again 

    on the WWVA 
    Wheeling 
    Jamboree. 

    It's 
    picking time 
    in my part of 

    the country, 

    and 
    it's 
    memory time 
    for me, I guess. 

    I 
    remember a lot of 
    things that 
    happened when I 
    was a little 
    boy back home 
    on the 

    cotton farm 
    and the faith 
    that my 
    mother and daddy 
    instilled in me 

    because they always 
    believed 

    that 
    things were 

    going to be all right. 

    Sometimes 
    he 
    tested us and 
    tried us and put us through 

    a hard time. 

    But it seems he 
    always gave us a blessing 

    that 
    followed 
    up the testing 

    and the 
    trying period. 

    A 
    good 
    time when 
    things were better 

    had 
    pointed 
    to a time when 
    things would 

    be a lot better. 

    Like the flood of 
    1937 -38, 

    we 
    had 
    to head for the hills, 

    but 
    we came 
    back 
    and that 

    old black muddy Mississippi 

    brought in about 
    six 
    inches of rich black 
    dirt. 

    And we planted 
    the cotton the next 

    year 

    and it grew taller than it ever 

    did before. 

    And when 
    picking 
    time came, 

    things 
    were a whole lot better. 

    Well, 
    I got cotton 
    in the bottom 

    land. 

    It's up and 
    growing and 
    I got a 

    good stand. 

    My good wife 
    and them kids 
    of 
    mine 

    are 
    going to get new 

    shoes come 
    picking time. 

    Get 
    new 
    shoes, 
    come 
    pickin' 
    time 

    Every 
    night when 
    I 
    go to 
    bed 

    Thank 
    the Lord that 
    my 
    kids are 
    fed 

    They 
    live on 
    beans eight 
    days a 
    night 

    But 
    I'll get them 
    fat, come 

    pickin' 
    time 

    Get them 
    fat, come 
    pickin' 
    time 

    It's 
    hard to 
    see by 
    the coal oil 
    light 

    And 
    I turn 
    it off pretty 
    early at 
    night 

    A 
    jug of 
    coal oil 
    cost a 
    dime 

    But 
    I set up 
    late, come 
    pick
    in' 
    time 

    Set 
    up 
    late, come 
    pickin' 
    time 

    My 
    old 
    wagon barely 
    get
    s me to 
    town 

    Patch 
    the 
    wheels and 
    wa
    ter them 
    down 

    Keep 
    her in 
    shape so 
    she'll be 
    fine 

    So 
    haul my 
    cotton, come 
    pickin' 
    time 

    Haul 
    my 
    cotton, come 

    pickin' 
    time 

    Last Sunday 
    morning 

    when 
    they passed the 
    hat 

    It 
    was almost 
    empty back 
    where I 
    sat 

    But 
    the preacher smiled 

    and he said, 
    that's 
    fine 

    The 
    Lord will 
    wait till 
    pickin' 
    time 

    The 
    Lord will 
    wait till 
    pickin' 
    time.

      "

      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.

      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.
