    • Verse 1
    Come to 
    the door, Ma, 

    and unlock 
    the 
    chain 

    I was just passin' 
    through and 

    got caught in 
    the 
    rain 

    There's nothin' I 
    want, nothin' 

    that you 
    need 
    say 

    Just let 
    me lie down for a 
    while 

    and I'll 
    be on my 
    way 

    I was 
    no more than 
    a kid when you put 
    me 
    on the Southern 
    Verse 2

    Queen 

    With the police on 
    my back 

    I fled to New 
    Orleans 

    I fought in 
    the dockyards 
    and with the money I 

    made 

    I knew the fight was 
    my home 

    and blood was 
    my trade 

    Baton 
    Rouge, Ponchatoula, 
    and Lafayette 
    Verse 3

    town 

    Well they paid me 
    their money, 

    Ma, I knocked 
    the men 
    down 

    I did what 
    I did 
    well it come 

    eas
    ily 

    Restraint and mercy, 

    Ma, were 
    always 
    strangers 
    to 
    me 

    Verse 4

    I 
    fought champion 
    Jack Thompson 
    in a 

    field full 
    of 
    mud 

    Rain poured through 
    the tent to 
    the canvas 

    and mixed with 
    our 
    blood 

    In the twelfth I slipped 
    my tongue 

    over my broken 
    jaw 

    I stood over him and 
    pounded his bloody 

    body 
    into 
    the 
    floor 

    Well the bell rang 
    and rang and 

    still I 
    kept on 

    'Till I felt my 
    glove leather slip 

    'tween his skin 
    and bone 

    Then the women 
    and the money came 
    fast and 
    the 
    days I lost 
    Verse 5

    track 

    The women 
    red, the money 
    green, 

    but the numbers 
    were 
    black 

    I fought 
    for the men in 
    their silk suits 

    to lay down 
    their 
    bets 

    I took my 
    good share, Ma, I have 

    no 
    regrets 

    Verse 6
    Then I took 
    the fix at the state 
    armory 
    with big John 

    McDowell 

    From high in 
    the rafters 

    I watched myself 
    fall 

    As they raised 
    his arm my stomach 

    twisted 
    and the sky it 
    went 
    black 

    I stuffed 
    my bag with their 
    good money 

    and I 
    never looked 
    back

    Under
    stand, 
    in the end, Ma, every 
    man plays 
    the 
    Verse 7

    game 

    If you know me 
    one different then 

    speak 
    out his name 

    Ma, 
    if my voice now 

    you don't recognize 

    Then just open 
    the door 
    and look 

    in
    to your 
    dark eyes 

    I ask of 
    you nothin', not 

    a kiss not 
    a smile, 

    Just 
    open the 
    door and let me 

    lie 
    down for 
    a while 

    Now 
    Verse 8
    the gray rain's 
    fallin' and 
    my 

    ring fightin's done 

    So in the work fields 
    and alleys 
    I take all 

    who'll 
    come 

    If you're a better man 
    than me then 

    just step to 
    the 
    line 

    Show me 
    your money and 
    speak out 

    your 
    crime 

    Now there's nothin' I 
    want, Ma, nothin' 

    that you 
    need 
    say 

    Just let 
    me lie down for 
    a while and 

    I'll 
    be on my 
    way 

    Verse 9
    Tonight in 
    the shipyard a man 
    draws a circle 

    in 
    the dirt 

    I move 
    to the center 
    and I take off 

    my 
    shirt 

    I study him for 
    the cuts, the scars, 

    the pain, 

    Man, 
    nor time can 
    erase 

    I move hard to 
    the left and 

    I strike to 
    the 
    face

    • 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.”
