    Gather 
    round, 
    folks, 

    and 
    take 
    your 
    places. 

    We've 
    got 
    some 
    advice 

    on 
    how 
    to 
    play 
    the 
    races. 


    All 
    the 
    owner 
    told 
    Clarence 

    the 
    clocker

    and 
    the 
    clocker 
    told 
    Jockey 
    McGee. 

    The 
    jockey, 
    of 
    course, 

    passed 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    horse, 

    and 
    the 
    horse 
    told 
    me. 

    Now 
    there's 
    sleeper, 
    they 
    say, 

    in 
    the 
    fourth 
    race 
    today. 

    Little 
    filly 
    called 
    Rockaway 
    Rose, 

    are you 
    listening? 

    She 
    comes 
    on 
    with 
    burst, 

    and 
    she'll 
    win 
    if 
    she's 
    first. 

    But 
    at 
    least 
    she'll 
    be 
    third 
    if 
    she 
    shows. 

    Oh, 
    the 
    owner 
    told 
    Clar

    ence 
    the 
    clock
    er, 

    the 
    clocker 
    told 
    Jockey 
    McGee, 

    McGee. 

    The 
    jockey, 
    of 
    course, 

    passed 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    horse, 

    and 
    the 
    horse 
    told 
    me. 

    Now, 
    if 
    it's 
    muddy 
    or 
    wet, 

    you 
    take 
    the 
    size 
    of 
    your 
    bet 

    and 
    divide 
    by 
    the 
    weight 
    of 
    the 
    shoes. 

    At 
    the 
    age 
    multiplied 

    by 
    the 
    length 
    of 
    the 
    stride, 

    And 
    providing 
    you 
    win 

    you 
    can
    't 
    lose. 

    Oh, 
    the 
    owner 
    told 
    Clarence 

    the 
    clocker, 

    The 
    clocker 
    told 
    Jockey 
    McGee, 

    McGee, 

    The 
    jockey, 
    of 
    course, 

    passed 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    horse, 

    An
    d the 
    horse 
    told 
    me, 

    I'm 
    boogie, 
    that's 
    me, 

    on 
    the 
    up 
    and 
    up 
    sea, 

    You 
    just 
    pick 
    them 
    and 

    hand 
    me 
    your 
    dough. 

    If 
    lose, 
    then 
    grin. 

    Oh, 
    but 
    of 
    course, 
    if 
    win... 

    Then 
    hop 
    on 
    bus 
    and 
    blow. 

    Hey, 
    where 
    did he 
    go? 



    Well 
    now, 
    tomorrow, 

    I'll 
    bet 
    just 
    for 
    kicks, 

    that's 
    what 
    get. 

    What's 
    gold? 

    It's 
    just 
    old 
    yellow 
    lead. 

    can 
    lose 
    with 
    grin 

    If 
    the 
    horse 
    don't 
    come 
    in. 

    I'll 
    just 
    blow 
    one 
    more 
    hole 
    in 
    my 
    head 

    Oh, 
    the 
    owner 
    told 

    Clarence 
    the 
    clock
    er 

    The 
    clocker 
    told 
    Jockey 
    McGee 

    The 
    McGee, 
    the 
    jockey 
    of 
    course 

    Passed 
    it 
    on 
    to 
    the 
    horse 

    And 
    the 
    horse 
    told 
    me 

    It 
    is 
    the 
    same 
    old 
    story 
    at 

    any 
    old 
    track 

    Wheth
    er 
    Saratoga, 
    Narragansett

    Hey, 
    don't

    • 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.
