    Verse 1
    There 
    was 
    an old 
    widow 
    in 
    Westmorland 

    who 
    had 
    no 
    daughter 
    but 
    one 

    And 
    she 
    has 
    prayed 
    both 
    night 
    and 
    day 
    she 

    should keep 
    her 
    maidenhead 
    long 

    "Ah, 
    don't 
    be 
    daft, 
    mother," 
    she 
    said, 

    "and 
    say 
    no 
    more 
    to 
    me 

    For 
    a 
    fine 
    young 
    man 
    in the 
    Grenadier 
    Guards 

    my 
    maidenhead's taken 
    from 
    me" 

    "You 
    saucy 
    cat, 
    you 
    impudent 
    cat, 

    a- 
    cursed 
    may 
    you 
    be 

    If 
    some 
    idle 
    rogue 
    in the 
    Grenadier 
    Guards 
    your 
    maidenhead's taken 
    from 

    thee" 



    But the 
    girlie's 
    off 
    to the 
    Grenadier 

    Guards 
    as 
    fast 
    as 
    go 
    can 
    she 

    Saying 
    "Give 
    me 
    back 
    my 
    maiden
    head, 

    my 
    mother 
    she 
    nags 
    at 
    me" 

    So 
    he 
    kissed 
    her 
    and 
    undressed 

    her 
    and 
    he 
    laid 
    her 
    on 
    the 
    bed 

    And 
    he 
    put 
    her 
    head 
    where her 
    feet were 
    be

    fore 
    and 
    gave back 
    her 
    maiden
    head 

    Then he 
    kissed 
    her 
    and 
    he 
    dressed 

    her 
    with 
    a 
    rose 
    in 
    either 
    hand 

    In
    vited 
    her 
    round 
    to St. 
    Mary's 
    church 
    to 
    see 
    his 
    fine 
    wed
    ding 



    Oh, 
    the 
    girlie's 
    off to 
    her 
    mammy's 

    house 
    as 
    fast 
    as 
    go 
    can 
    she 

    "I'm 
    as 
    full 
    a 
    maiden, 
    mammy 
    dear, 

    as the 
    day 
    you 
    first 
    bore 
    me 

    He 
    kissed 
    me 
    and 
    undressed 
    me 

    and 
    he 
    laid 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    bed 

    Put 
    my 
    head where 
    my 
    feet 
    were be
    fore 

    and he 
    gave back 
    my 
    maiden
    head 

    Then 
    he 
    kissed 
    me 
    and 
    he 
    dressed 
    me, 

    put 
    a 
    rose 
    in 
    either 
    hand 
    and 

    In
    vited 
    me 
    round 
    to St. 
    Mary's 

    church 
    to 
    see 
    his 
    fine 
    wed
    ding 

    "Ah, 
    never 
    on 
    foot," 
    her 
    mammy 
    she 
    said, 

    "in a 
    car
    riage 
    and 
    pair 
    you'll 
    ride 

    With 
    four 
    and 
    twenty 
    fine 
    young 
    girls 
    to 
    go 
    with 
    you 
    be
    side" 







    "Ah, 
    who 
    is 
    this?" 
    the 
    bride 
    she 
    said, 

    "She 
    comes 
    so 
    high 
    to 
    me" 

    "I see 
    it 
    is 
    the 
    wid
    ow's 
    daughter 
    who 

    ran

    "How

    it, how 
    would 
    she 
    do it, 

    how 
    could 
    she 
    do it 
    for shame?

    "If

      "

      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.
