  • Verse 1
    Well, 
    now 
    Bill 
    Jackson 
    was the 

    poor ol 
    Judge 

    Who joined 
    the Uptown 

    Poker 
    Club 

    And he cursed 
    the day 
    he 
    ever 
    told 

    any
    body 
    he'd join. 

    Cause 
    his 
    money 
    used 
    to go 

    like 
    it had 
    wings, 

    When he 
    had 
    queens, 

    somebody 
    else 
    had kings. 

    And 
    every night 
    he'd just 
    sit 

    there donatin' 
    all 
    his coins. 

    He'd say 
    "Boys, 

    now I"mma 
    play 
    it right 
    tonight, 

    I'mma watch 
    them cards 

    and I'mma 
    play 
    'em 
    tight. 

    And 
    when I 
    come in 
    there son, 

    my 
    hand's 
    gon' 
    be 
    peach". 

    Well, 
    he'd 
    play 
    em tight, 

    but after 
    a while 

    He'd done 
    lost 
    himself 

    a considerable 
    pile 

    So he 
    got 
    mad 
    and he 
    stood 

    up and 
    made 
    this 
    little speech. 

    Now 
    boys... 
    Verse 2

    You 
    see 
    this razor? 

    Well I had 
    it sharpened 
    just 
    today. 

    Now 
    I'm comin' 
    in 
    here 

    with my 
    rules 

    That every
    body 
    gon' 

    follow 
    when they 
    play. 

    Now 
    you, 
    Clyde. 

    You keep 
    your hands 
    on top 
    of the 
    table 

    When 
    you're dealin', 
    please. 

    Quit takin' 
    them 
    little 
    wild 
    cards 

    And stickin' 
    'em down 
    there 

    between 
    your 
    knees. 

    And Jesse... 

    Quit 
    makin' all 
    them 
    funny 
    signs 

    Like 
    you 
    tryin' 
    to tip 
    off 
    your 
    hand. 

    You 
    better 
    talk 
    to me 
    in 
    American, 

    son. 

    American, 
    sos' I 
    can understand. 

    And 
    Leroy. 

    Quit 
    takin' 
    'em 
    off of 
    the bottom, 

    oh, 
    that's 
    rough. 

    Just 
    take 
    five 
    off 
    the top, 

    then stop. 
    That's 
    enough. 

    And pass 
    me 
    them cards, 
    son. 

    Let 
    me cut 
    on 
    them thangs 

    every time 
    'fore 
    you 
    deal. 

    I like 
    to handle 
    them 
    thangs, 

    boy. 
    like 
    to see. 

    Cause 
    I got 
    news 
    for 
    you 
    lads, 

    You ain't 
    playin' 
    this game 
    accordin' 

    to 
    that 
    fellow 
    Hoyle, 
    uh- uh. Naw. 

    To
    night 
    you 
    playin' 
    this game 

    accordin' 
    to ME! 

    Verse 3

    Well, 
    now 
    sittin' 
    around 
    the table 

    in 
    that there 
    game 

    There just 
    happened 
    to be 

    this 
    ol' one- 
    eyed 
    man. 

    An
    d Bill 
    kept 
    watchin' 
    him 
    out the 

    corner 
    of his 
    eye. 

    Cause this 
    ol' 
    one- 
    eyed cat, 

    he been 
    dealin' 
    kinda 
    funny, 

    He 
    done 
    took a 
    whole 
    bunch 

    of Big 
    Bill's 
    money. 

    So 
    Bill 
    rolls 
    up 
    and 
    he looks 
    around 
    the 
    room 

    and 
    with a 
    sigh 
    he says 

    Hmmm.said "It's 
    a awful 
    shame." 

    He said 
    "There's somebody 

    cheatin' 
    in this 
    here 
    game. 

    Said 
    "Course 
    it ain't 
    gon' do 
    for me 

    to stand 
    up 
    here and 
    mention 
    the 
    guy. 

    So 
    I'll 
    refrain 
    from callin' 

    that 
    party's 
    name 

    But 
    you let 
    me catch 
    him 
    cheatin' 
    just 
    once 
    again, 


    And I'mma 
    take 
    my 
    fist 
    and I'm

    ma close 
    that other 
    eye.

    That 
    every
    body 
    must

    game, 

    son.

    for you 
    boys, 

    You ain't 
    playin' 
    this 
    game 
    accordin' 

    to 
    that 
    fellow 
    Hoyle, 
    uh- 
    uh. 

    To
    night 
    you 
    playin' 
    this 

    game 
    accordin' 
    to ME!! 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    then. 
    Seein' 
    as how 

    you all 
    know 
    that I 
    didn't 

    Ride 
    in 
    here 
    on a head 
    of 
    cabbage, 

    Henry, 
    if you'll 
    break 
    out another 

    deck 
    of 
    them Bicycles 

    Me 
    and 
    the boys 
    will 
    get 

    on 
    with 
    the business. 

    But 
    keep your 
    eye on 
    that 
    fella 

    wearin' 
    the patch. 

    He holds 
    them 
    cards 
    kinda 
    funny. 

    If 
    he 
    ain't careful, 

    somebody 
    around 
    this 
    table 

    Liable 
    to jack 
    his 
    jaw. 

    Ah, 
    son. 
    I feel 
    like my 
    luck 
    just 
    changed.

    • 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.
