Verse 1
C
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,
Am
G
and it's memory time for me, I guess.
C
Am
I remember a lot of things that happened when I was a little boy back home on the
G
C
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
F
and the trying period.
G
A good time when things were better
Am
had pointed to a time when things would
C
be a lot better.
Like the flood of 1937 -38,
G
we had to head for the hills,
D
G
but we came back and that
old black muddy Mississippi
C
F
brought in about six inches of rich black dirt.
C
And we planted the cotton the next
year
and it grew taller than it ever
F
did before.
C
And when picking time came,
things were a whole lot better.
Well, I got cotton in the bottom
G
land.
It's up and growing and I got a
C
good stand.
G
My good wife and them kids of mine
are going to get new
C
shoes come picking time.
G
C
Get new shoes, come pickin' time
G
Every night when I go to bed
C
Thank the Lord that my kids are fed
G
They live on beans eight days a night
But I'll get them fat, come
C
pickin' time
G
C
Get them fat, come pickin' time
G
It's hard to see by the coal oil light
C
And I turn it off pretty early at night
G
A jug of coal oil cost a dime
C
But I set up late, come pickin' time
G
C
Set up late, come pickin' time
G
My old wagon barely gets me to town
C
Patch the wheels and water them down
G
Keep her in shape so she'll be fine
C
So haul my cotton, come pickin' time
G
Haul my cotton, come
C
pickin' time
Last Sunday morning
G
when they passed the hat
C
It was almost empty back where I sat
But the preacher smiled
G
and he said, that's fine
D
G
C
The Lord will wait till pickin' time
G
C
The Lord will wait till pickin' time.

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.”
