    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    the 
    little 

    lady 
    preacher 
    from 
    the 
    limestone 
    church 

    I'll 
    never 
    forget 
    her, 
    guess 

    She 
    preached 
    each 
    Sunday 

    morning 
    on 
    the 
    loc
    al 
    radio 

    With 
    big 
    black 
    Bible 
    and 

    a snow-white 
    dress 

    dress 

    Verse 2

    She 
    was 
    19 years 
    of 
    age 
    and 

    was 
    de
    veloped 
    to 
    fault 

    But 
    will 
    admit 
    she 
    knew 
    the Bible 
    well 

    little 
    white 
    lace 
    hanky 
    marked 
    the 

    tex
    that 
    she 
    would 
    use 

    She'd 
    breathe 
    into 
    that 
    microphone 

    and 
    send 
    us 
    all 
    to 
    hell 

    Verse 3

    She 
    had 
    a guitar 
    picker 
    by 

    the name 
    of 
    Luther 
    Short 

    hairy-legged 
    soul 
    soul 
    lost 
    out 
    in 
    sin 

    She 
    would 
    turn 
    and smile 
    at 
    Luther 
    when 

    the 
    pro
    gram 
    would 
    com
    mence 

    With 
    voice 
    as 
    sweet 
    as angels 
    she 

    would 
    break 
    out 
    in 
    hym

    Verse 4
    was 
    picking 
    for 
    her 
    too 
    with 
    what 

    we call 
    the 
    doghouse 
    bass 

    clung 
    to 
    every 
    word 
    that 
    passed 
    her 
    lips 

    She 
    was 
    down 
    on 
    booze 
    and 
    cigarettes 

    and 
    high 
    on 
    days 
    to 
    come 

    And 
    she'd 
    punctuate 
    the 
    prophecy 
    with 

    movements 
    of 
    her 
    hips 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    The 
    Lord 
    knows 
    how 
    loved 
    her, 

    he 
    was 
    there 
    each 
    time 
    she 
    preached 

    But 
    ol' 
    Luther 
    took 
    her 
    home 

    each 
    Sunday 
    morn' 

    Looking 
    back 
    still 
    recall 
    the 

    way 
    it 
    hurt 
    my 
    tender 
    pride 

    longed 
    to be 
    hero 
    but 
    they're 

    made 
    not 
    born 

    Verse 6

    Some
    times 
    ol' 
    Luther 
    showed 

    up 
    at 
    the 
    stu
    dio 
    half-tight 

    And 
    And 
    smoking 
    was 

    thing 
    he 
    liked 
    to do 

    She 
    never 
    said 
    a word 
    to 
    him 

    but 
    said 
    prayer 
    for 
    me 

    told 
    her 
    in 
    a way 
    that 
    I'd 
    been 

    praying 
    for 
    her 
    too 

    Verse 7

    One 
    Sunday 
    her 
    old 
    man 
    showed 
    up 

    and 
    said 
    that 
    she 
    was 
    gone 

    Said 
    she 
    and 
    brother 
    Luther 
    had 
    a call 

    can 
    see 
    me 
    standing 
    in 
    that 
    studio 
    that 
    day 

    had 
    to 
    face 
    the 
    heartbreak, 

    unem
    ployment 
    and 
    all 

    Verse 8

    don't 
    know 
    where 
    they 
    are 
    'cause 

    ain't seen 
    them 
    people 
    since 

    Lord 
    if 
    judge 
    'em 
    let 
    me 

    give 
    'em 
    lots 
    o' 
    room 

    know 
    ol' 
    Luther 
    Short 
    and 
    he's 

    hard 
    ol' 
    boy 
    to 
    change 

    And 
    I've 
    often 
    sat 
    and 
    wondered 
    who 

    it 
    was 
    converted 
    whom

    • 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.
