    • Verse 1
    Twas on 
    a summer's 
    mornin' as 

    I rode o 'er the moss 

    I had 
    no thoughts of enlistin' 

    till some soldiers 
    did me cross 

    They kindly 
    did invite 
    me to a 

    flow 'n bowl of 
    grog 

    And they advanced 
    me, 

    they advanced 
    me 

    Oh, 
    they advanced 
    me, some 
    man he 

    took in his undercrown 

    Oh yes, 
    me loves enlist, 

    and he wears 
    a white cockade 

    He is 
    a handsome young 

    man, a 

    Russian roving blade. 

    He is 
    a handsome young 
    man and he's 

    gone to serve his king. 

    But, oh, my very, 
    oh, 
    my very, 
    oh, 

    my very heart 
    is breaking 
    all for the love 
    of him. 

    Oh, yes, me love 
    is handsome 

    and comely for 
    to say. 

    But by a 
    sudden misfortune, 

    the soldier now 
    is he. 

    And 
    the very man 
    that enlisted him 

    and 
    took him away 
    from 
    me. 

    how I 
    wish that, 
    how 
    I 
    wish that, 

    oh how 
    I 
    wish that 
    the 

    Hollanders would 
    sink him 

    in the sea. 

    Oh may he never 
    prosper, 
    oh may he never 
    thrive, 

    and everything 
    he turns his 
    hand as long as 
    he's 

    alive, 
    and the very ground 
    he treads upon 
    the grass refused 
    to grow, 

    cause he's been, 

    cause 
    he's been, 
    cause 
    he's been the 
    very cause 
    of me sorrow, 

    grief and woe. 

    Then 
    he took 
    out his handkerchief 

    and wiped her floor, 
    and 

    I, 

    leave off your lamentations, 
    likewise your mournful 
    cries, 


    leave off your lamentations, 

    while I am 
    o 'er the plains, 

    and we'll 
    be married, 

    we'll 
    be married, 
    we'll 
    be married 

    in 

    Newcastle 
    when I return 

    again. 

    Oh, yes, me loves 
    in 

    Leicester, 
    and I for him 
    will rove, 

    And 
    carve his name 
    on every tree 

    that grows in 
    yonder grove 

    And 
    the huntsmen he 
    will holler and 

    the hounds will loudly 
    cry 

    To re
    mind me, 
    to 
    remind 
    me, 

    to remind 
    me 

    Of me plough 
    boy 
    until 
    the 
    day 
    I die

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
