    You 
    know 
    I'm a 
    rov
    ing gambler, 
    Verse 1

    gambled 
    all 
    around 

    And 
    whenever I 
    see a 
    deck of card
    s, 


    well I lay 
    my money 
    down, 
    boys 

    lay 
    my money 
    down, 

    and I 
    have gambled 
    down 
    in Georgia 

    gambled 
    up 
    in Maine, 

    I'm going on 
    down to 
    Texas 

    For 
    to gamble 
    my 
    last 
    game, 
    boys, 

    to gamble 
    my 
    last 
    game 

    Now 
    as I come 
    into Danville 
    town, 

    got stuck 
    on a Danville 
    girl 

    I said, 
    boys, 
    the chick was 
    out of 
    sight, 

    she 
    wore the 
    Danville 
    curl, 
    boys 

    She 
    wore the 
    Danville 
    curl 

    and she wore 
    a hat 
    on the 
    side of 
    her head 

    Like 
    the 
    highborn 
    folks 
    all 
    do, 

    the 
    very next 
    train come 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    I bit the 
    gal and 
    she, 
    boys, 

    said, 
    bit the 
    gal 
    too 

    Oh, 
    yes, 
    did. 

    You 
    know, 
    she took 
    me to a 
    party 

    She 
    cooled 
    me 
    with her 
    fan 

    And 
    she whispered 
    low in 
    her 
    mammy's 
    ear 

    love the 
    gamblin' 
    man, 

    oh 
    love the 
    gamblin' 
    man 

    And 
    she said, 
    now daughter, 

    dearest 
    daughter 

    How 
    can you 
    treat me 
    so 

    To 
    leave your own 
    dear mother 

    With 
    the gambler 
    gold 
    girl, 

    with 
    the 
    gambler 
    gold 

    wouldn't marry 
    no farmer, 

    cause he 
    is 
    al
    ways 
    in the rain 

    would rather 
    marry a gambling 
    man 

    with his 
    great big 
    watch and chain, 

    With 
    his great 
    big watch 
    and chain 


    And I wouldn't marry no 
    miller, 


    cause he is always 
    in 
    the 
    dirt 

    I would rather 
    marry a gambling 
    man 

    with his 
    great big fancy 
    shirt, 
    Ma 

    With his 
    lovely silky 
    shirt 

    and then 
    she took me to 
    a boudoir 

    She did 
    all 
    that she could do, 

    and 
    the very next 
    train 

    come down the 
    line, 

    I bit the 
    gal at you boys, 

    said I bit the 
    gal at 
    you 

    You know 
    that I'm a roving 
    gambler, 

    and 
    I gambled 
    all 
    around, 

    and whenever I see 
    a deck of cards, 

    well 
    I lay my 
    money down boys 

    lay my 
    money 
    down 

    and I have 
    gambled out 
    in Texas 

    Oh, 
    I gambled 
    out in Spain, 

    but 
    I'm going on down 
    to New Orleans 

    To 
    gamble my 
    last game, 
    boys, 

    to 
    gamble my 
    last 
    game

    • 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.
