  • Verse 1
    (Chorus) 

    'Poverty poverty 
    knock,' my 

    loom 
    is a 
    saying 
    all 
    day 

    Poverty 
    poverty 
    knock, 

    gaffer's 
    too 
    skinny 
    to 
    pay 

    Poverty 
    poverty 
    knock, 

    keeping 
    one 
    eye 
    on the 
    clock 

    know 
    I can 
    guttle when 
    hear my 
    shuttle 
    go, 

    'poverty 
    poverty 
    knock' 

    Up 
    every 
    morning 
    at 
    five, 

    wonder 
    that 
    we keep 
    alive 

    Tired 
    and 
    yawning 
    an
    other 
    cold 
    morning 

    It's 
    back 
    to the 
    dreary 
    old 
    drive. 



    (Repeat chorus) 

    Oh dear 
    we're 
    going to 
    be 
    late 

    Gaffer 
    is 
    stood 
    at the 
    gate 

    We're 
    out of 
    pocket, 

    our 
    wages 
    they'll 
    docket 

    We'll 
    have 
    to buy 
    grub 
    on the 
    slate 


    (Repeat chorus) 

    And 
    when 
    our 
    wages 
    they 
    bring, 

    we're 
    often 
    short 
    of a 
    string 

    While 
    we are 
    fighting 
    with 

    gaffer 
    for snatching 

    We 
    know 
    to his 
    brass 
    he will 
    cling 



    (Repeat chorus) 

    Sometimes a 
    shuttle 
    flies 
    out 

    And 
    gives 
    some poor 

    woman 
    clout 

    There she 
    lies 
    bleeding 
    but 

    nobody's 
    heeding 

    Oh 
    who's 
    going to 
    carry 
    her 

    out? 


    (Repeat chorus) 

    Oh 
    dear, my 
    poor 
    head it 
    sings 

    I should 
    have 
    woven 
    three 

    string

    My threads 
    are 
    breaking 

    and 
    my 
    back is 
    aching 

    Oh 
    dear, 
    wish 
    I had 
    wings 

    Poverty 
    poverty 
    knock 

    Poverty 
    poverty 
    knock 

    Poverty 
    poverty 
    knock

    • 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.
