Verse 3

old man lived in the Wooly Swamp

way back in the gurgling woods
C

And he never did do a lot of

harm in the world

But he never did do no good
Dm

People didn't think too much of him

They all thought he acted funny
C

The old man didn't care

about people anyway

All he cared about was his money
Dm

He'd stuff it all down in Mason
D

jars and bury it all around
Dm
C

But on certain nights

if the moon was right

He'd dig it up out of the ground
Dm

He'd pour it all out on the

floor of his shack
D

And run his fingers through it
C

Old Lucias Clay was a greedy old man

And that's all there ever was to it

Verse 5
Dm

The Crayton boys were white trash

they lived over on Carvers Creek
C

They were mean as a snake and

sneaky as a cat

And belligerent when they'd speak
Dm

One night the oldest brother said ya'll

meet in the Wooly Swamp later
D
C

We'll get old Lucias' money and

we'll pitch him to the alligators
G
Dm

They found the old man out in the back

with a shovel in his hand
C

And thirteen rusty Mason jars he just

dug up out of the sand
Dm

And they all went crazy and

they beat the old man

Then they picked him up off

the ground
C

Then they threw him in the swamp and

they stood there and laughed

Till the black water sucked him down
Dm

Then they turned around

and went back to the shack
D

And they picked up the money
Dm

and ran
C

But they hadn't gone nowheres

when they realized

They were running in

quicksand
D
Dm

And they struggled and screamed

but they couldn't get away
D
Dm

Then just before they went under
C

They could hear that old man laughing

In a voice that was loud

as thunder
Dm

Now that's been fifty years ago an' if

you go back by there again
C

There's a spot in the yard in

back of that shack

Where the ground is always wet
Dm

And on certain nights if the moon is right

And you're down by the

dark footpath
C

You can hear three young

men screaming

And you can hear that old man laugh

  • 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.
