    Well 
    met, 
    well met, 
    my friend, 


    All on the highway 
    riding, 

    Though freely 
    together here 
    we stand. 

    I pray 
    thou tell to me, 

    Of what gall 
    and mist thou 
    be, 

    And art 
    thou not a serving 
    man? 

    Oh 
    no, my brother 
    dear, 

    what makes thee to 
    in
    quire 

    Of any 
    such thing 
    from my 
    hand? 

    Indeed, 
    will not 
    frain, but 
    I will 
    tell you plain, 

    am a downright 
    husband
    man. 

    Indeed, 
    will not frain, 
    but 
    I will tell 
    you plain, 

    I am 
    a downright 
    hus
    bandman. 

    Well, 
    if an husbandman 
    you be, 

    will you walk 
    along with 
    me, though freely 
    together 
    here we 
    stand? 

    For in a 
    very short space 
    I may take 
    you to a place 

    where you may 
    be a serving 
    man. 

    As to 
    thine di
    ligence, 
    I give 
    thee 
    many thanks, 

    but naught 
    do I require 
    from thine 
    hand. 

    But 
    pray 
    now to me 
    show, 

    Where
    fore that 
    I may know 

    The 
    pleasures of 
    serving 
    man. 

    But 
    I pray 
    now to me 
    show, 

    Wherefore 
    that I may 
    know 

    The 
    pleasures of 
    a serving 
    man. 

    Well, isn't it a 
    nice thing to ride 

    out with 
    the king, 

    With lords, 
    dukes, or any 
    such men, 

    For 
    to hear 
    the horn, to blow 

    and see 
    the hounds 

    All 
    in a 
    row, that's 

    pleasures of 
    a serving 
    man. 

    But 
    my pleasure's 
    more 
    than 
    that, 

    To see 
    my oxen 
    fanned, 

    And a 
    good stock of 
    hay by 

    them stand. 

    With my 
    ploughing and my 
    sowing, 


    My reaping 
    and my 
    mowing, 

    That's pleasures 
    of 
    an husband 
    man. 

    With 
    my 
    ploughing and 
    my sowing, 

    my 
    reaping and 
    my mowing, 

    That's pleasures 
    of an 

    hus
    band 
    man. 

    But then 
    we do wear 
    the finest 
    of grandeur, 

    My 
    coat is trimmed with 

    fur all 
    around, 

    Our shirts 
    as white as 
    milk, and my 
    stocking's 
    made of silk, 


    That's clothing 
    for 
    serving 
    man. 

    As 
    to my 
    grandeur, 

    give 
    I the 
    coat I wear, 

    Of some 
    bushes 
    to 
    ramble 
    among. 

    Give to 
    me 
    a good 
    great coat, 

    And 
    in my purse 
    a garout, 

    That's 
    clothing 
    for an 
    hus
    band 
    man. 

    Give 
    to me 
    a good great 
    coat, 

    And 
    in my 
    purse a 
    garout, 

    That's 
    clothing 
    for 
    an husband 
    man. 

    But 
    then 
    we do eat 
    the most 

    delicate fine 
    meat 

    Of 
    goose 
    and of capon 
    and 
    swan 

    Our 
    pastries 
    made so 
    fine 

    We 
    drink sugar 
    in our wine 

    That's 
    diet for 
    serving man 

    As 
    do 
    my ducks and 
    capon

    Give I my 
    beans 
    and bacon 

    An
    d a 
    good drop of 
    ale 
    now and 
    then 

    For 
    in a farmer's 
    house 

    You will 
    find both 
    brawn and sauce 

    And 
    that's 
    livin' for an 

    hus
    band -man 

    For 
    in 
    a farmer's 
    house 

    You'll 
    find both 
    brawn and sauce 

    That's 
    livin' for 
    an husband 
    -man 

    Kind 
    sir, I 
    must confess 

    Although it 
    causes me 
    distress 

    To 
    grant 
    you the 
    up
    permost 
    hand 

    Although 
    it 
    is most 
    painful 

    It 
    is altogether 
    gainful 

    And 
    I wish I'd 
    been an 
    husband -man 

    So 
    now, 
    good people 
    all, 

    both be 
    you great and 
    small, 

    Honour 
    the 

    King 
    of our land, 

    An
    d let us 
    whatsoever 
    to 

    do our 
    best endeavour, 

    For 
    to maintain 
    a husband 
    -man. 

    And let 
    us whatsoever 
    to 

    do our 
    best 
    endeavour, 

    For 
    to maintain 
    husband 
    -man. 

    you

      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.
