  • Verse 1
    Step 
    inside 
    my 
    tent, 
    said 
    she, 

    "I'd 
    like 
    to 
    read 
    you 
    palm" 

    Leave 
    the dollar 
    in 
    the 
    jar, 

    this won't 
    take 
    very 
    long 

    Leave 
    the circus 
    noise 
    behind, 

    close 
    your 
    eyes, 
    relax 
    your 
    mind 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you, if 
    you 
    should 
    quit 

    now 
    or 
    if 
    you should 
    go 
    on 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    I said, 
    "Now 
    what 
    do ya see?" 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    Where'll 
    I go, 
    what'll 
    I be? 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 
    deedlee-dee" 

    She 
    threw 
    some 
    sawdust 
    Verse 3
    in 
    the 

    air and 
    her hand
    s began 
    to 
    shake 

    She 
    told 
    me, the 
    town 
    where 
    I was 
    born, 

    she 
    al
    most 
    knew 
    the date 

    She 
    lit 
    a candle 
    with 
    her eyes 

    and then 
    she made 
    the table 
    rise 

    She 
    took 
    the dollar 
    from 
    the jar 
    and 

    then 
    she guessed 
    my 
    weight 

    Verse 4
    Then 
    I said, 
    "Now 
    what do 
    ya see?" 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    You 
    are so old, 
    you are 
    so wise 

    Deedlee-dumb, 
    deedlee-dy 

    Verse 5
    Give me 
    a sign, 
    tell 
    it to me 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    Then 
    she spoke 
    most 
    quietly 

    Deedlee-dumb, 
    deedlee-dee 

    When you 
    we 
    a child 
    Verse 6
    at school 
    they 

    taught 
    you 
    quite 
    a lot 

    You 
    were told 
    when 
    you 
    should 

    speak 
    and 
    when you 
    should not 

    You 
    were taught 
    to 
    read 
    and write, 

    to 
    take 
    your lessons 
    home 
    at 
    night 

    little 
    knowledge 
    serves 
    you well 

    but the 
    golden 
    rule 
    does 
    not 

    Verse 7
    Then 
    I said, 
    "Now 
    what do 
    ya 
    see?" 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    Where'll 
    I go, 
    what'll 
    I be? 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    Then 
    when 
    came 
    Verse 8
    home 
    that 
    night 

    to lie 
    in bed 
    awake 

    I thought 
    of 
    that 
    old 
    gypsy 
    and 
    the 

    words 
    that 
    she 
    had 
    said 

    And now 
    I see 
    with 
    due 
    respect, 

    the more 
    we 
    learn 
    the 
    worse 
    we get 

    So if 
    you 
    feel 
    you've 
    no 
    regrets, 

    go 
    have 
    your fortune 
    read 

    Verse 9
    Then 
    I said, 
    "Now 
    what 
    do ya see?" 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    You 
    are so old, 
    you are 
    so wise 

    Deedlee-dumb, 
    deedlee-dy 

    Verse 10
    Give me 
    a sign, 
    tell 
    it to me 

    She 
    said, 

    "Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee" 

    Then she spoke 
    most 
    quietly 

    Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee 

    Verse 11
    Where'll 
    I go, 
    what'll 
    I be 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee" 

    You are 
    so old, 
    you 
    are so wise 

    Verse 12
    Deedlee-dumb, 
    deedlee-dy 

    Give me 
    a sign, 
    tell 
    it to me 

    She 
    said, 
    "Deedlee-dumb, 

    deedlee-dee"

    • 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.
