  • Verse 1
    Ooh, 
    pretty 
    little girl, 
    who lies 
    at Jane 

    By 
    lies, 
    that pretty 
    little girl, 

    she 
    died 
    on the train 

    Well, 
    sir, here's an 
    old song 

    called 
    A Possum Up 
    in the Cemetery 

    You 
    know, 

    there's 
    40 ,000 
    different 
    versions 

    of 
    this old country 
    song 

    guess 
    maybe you might 
    say 

    that up 
    in Kentucky 

    they 
    had a different 
    way of 

    singing it over and over 
    and holler 

    But 
    in 
    my particular 
    holler, 

    here's 
    sort of 
    the way 
    they sung about 

    the possum up 
    in the simmon tree. 

    Possum 
    up in 
    the simmon tree, 

    raccoon 
    on 
    the 
    ground, 

    raccoon 
    said you 
    son of a 
    gun

    shake them 
    simmons 
    down, 

    possum 
    begin to 
    shake 

    and 
    the 
    simmons 
    begin to 
    fall, 

    raccoon 
    said you 
    son of 
    gun

    I didn't 
    want them 
    all, 
    whoo, 

    Liza's 
    pretty little 
    girl, 
    whoopie 
    Liza 
    Jane, 

    My 
    Liza's 
    a pretty little 
    girl, 

    she died 
    on the 
    train 

    Woo, 
    pretty 
    little 
    girl, 
    Liza 
    Jane 

    My 
    Liza's 
    a pretty little 
    girl, 

    she died 
    on 
    the train 


    Oh 
    folks 
    down in 
    Georgia 

    raising 
    sugarcane 

    Mak
    ing the 
    barrel 
    of lasses 

    to 
    sweeten 
    little Liza 
    Jane 

    Her 
    nose 
    is like a 
    cherry 

    and her 
    chair is 
    like a 
    rose 

    love 
    my 
    pretty little 
    gal 
    goodness 

    gracious 

    She's 
    got 


    head 
    like a 
    coffee pot, 

    nose 
    like a 
    spout, 

    and a mouth 
    like an 
    old fireplace 

    the ashes 
    all raked 
    out 

    Verse 2
    Went to 
    see my 
    Liza 

    She 
    met me 
    at the 
    door 

    Shoes 
    and stockings 
    in her 
    hand 

    Verse 3
    And 
    her feet all 
    over 
    the floor 

    Verse 4
    Whoopie, 
    Liza's 
    pretty little 
    girl 

    Verse 5
    Whoo, 
    Liza 
    Jane 

    My 
    Liza's 
    pretty little 
    girl 

    She died 
    on the 
    train 



    Ooh, 
    Liza's 
    a pretty little 
    girl 

    My 
    Liza 
    Jane 

    Ooh, 
    Bill 
    Liza's 
    a pretty little 
    girl 

    But 
    she can't get 
    to heaven 

    by 
    ridin' on 
    a train

    • 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.
