    We moved

    when 
    I 
    was fourteen 

    Worked 
    this poor 
    ground 

    for bacon 
    and beans 

    Landlord 
    told 
    me, 
    hard 
    times 
    is near 

    Didn't 
    mean 
    a thing 
    'cause 

    they're already 
    here 

    Verse 2
    Daylight 
    till dark 
    my 
    work's 
    never 
    done 

    Lord 
    have mercy 
    on 
    this 

    sharecropper's son 

    Mama's 
    got 
    the fever 
    and 

    the baby's 
    sick 
    too 

    Papa's 
    uptown 
    soak
    in' up 
    that brew 

    Just 
    out 
    of prison, 

    says 
    he ain't 
    going 
    back 

    Ain't a bloodhound 
    in Georgia 

    that can fol
    low 
    his tracks.

    Verse 4
    bought 
    a new 
    mule, 

    brought 
    him up 
    from down 
    south 

    He'll kick 
    the chew 
    of tobacco 

    right out 
    of 
    your mouth 

    Water 
    in 
    the well 
    nearly 
    out 
    of sight 

    Can't 
    take 
    a bath 
    on a Sat
    urday 

    night. 
    (Repeat Chorus) 

    Verse 5
    Our 

    crops 
    are all 
    wilted, 

    no 
    rain 
    day 
    or night 

    Preacher's 
    here 
    for dinner, 

    we ain't 
    got 
    a bite 

    Eleven 
    in 
    the family, 

    ten 
    Daughters 
    and a son 

    Mama 
    just 
    told 
    us 
    there'd be 

    another 
    one.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
