    (Will 
    he take 
    the 
    soul 
    of 
    convict 

    could 
    be 
    one 
    of those 
    he 
    choosed) 

    I was 
    taught the Bible 
    from childhood 
    at 

    my mother's 
    knee I 
    learned to pray 

    I was taught 
    of 
    God 
    and all 
    his goodness 

    and the 
    devil 
    and his evil 
    ways 

    There's good 
    in the 
    bad 
    and 
    bad in the 
    good 
    and 

    there's none 
    that's free 
    from sin 

    But there's 
    some questions 

    I've wondered about 

    What 
    happens 
    to the men 

    who die 
    in the pen 

    Just imagine 
    yourself 
    the 
    judge 
    God 
    Almighty 

    as you gaze 
    over all 
    these men 

    When 
    death takes 
    its toll 
    what becomes 

    of the soul 
    of 
    the men 
    who die in 
    the pen 

    Do 
    you think of 
    God that's 
    true and just 

    could 
    look from his 
    heav
    enly 
    throne 

    And be 
    pleased to 
    see men 
    placed in 

    chains 
    and stripes 

    And tucked 
    from 
    their loved 

    ones at home 

    Worked 
    until 
    they're 
    completely 

    axhuasted and your soul 
    cries 
    out in 
    vain 

    Fed like a 
    hog 
    and treated 
    like a dog 
    and at night 

    to the bed 
    you're chained 

    Worked 
    from sunup 
    to sundown 

    through all 
    kinds 
    of weather 

    And 
    if you don't 
    do the things just 
    right 

    you 
    get 
    introduced 
    to the 
    leather 

    Now you 
    see it's not 
    the pain 
    mind 
    so 
    much 

    as I'm 
    stretched out 
    on the floor 

    It's just the 
    thought that I 
    can't do my 

    part 
    that's what 
    breaks my 
    heart 

    You see 
    I'm just not 

    man enough 
    anymore 

    Oh 
    there 
    are a lotta other 
    things 
    I could tell 

    you 
    that you'd 
    mar
    vel 
    at and say 

    Why 
    I didn't know 
    in those 
    modern times 
    they treated 

    men that 
    way 
    but they do 

    That's why 
    I ask you 
    do you think 
    that God 

    could turn 
    with a sneer 
    and frown 

    At the 
    men who die 
    in the pen 
    do 

    you think he'll 
    turn us 
    down 

    I believe 
    there's a heaven 
    and 
    a hell 

    and in God 
    I put 
    my trust 

    That's 
    why I'm askin' 
    these 
    ques

    tions 
    believe he's 
    true 
    and just 

    And 
    I just imagine 
    he'll 
    tell me 
    as we meet 

    at the golden 
    stairs 

    Hell's not 
    just meant 
    for 
    some of 

    the 
    men 
    who 
    die in the 
    pen 

    But 
    for some 
    who have mistreated 

    them there 

    You see we're 
    payin' 
    for the mistakes 

    we made 
    in our sins 

    As we've 
    had our troubles 
    in 
    life 

    Because we're 
    the 
    underdogs 
    of human
    ity 

    and surely 
    God 
    won't make us 
    pay twice 

    I believe 
    on that 
    Day of Judgement 
    he'll 

    have this 
    convict 
    called in 

    And he'll 
    say it's 
    true 
    hell's 
    not for you 

    you had your 
    hell 
    in the 
    pen

      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.
