    Verse 1
    There 
    lived 
    a wife 
    in 

    Arsh 
    as 
    well 
    and 
    a wealthy 
    wife 
    is 
    she 

    She'd 
    three 
    fine 
    and 
    stalwart 
    sons 

    and 
    sent 
    them 
    o 
    'er the 
    sea 

    They'd 
    not 
    been 
    gone 
    a 
    week 
    and a 

    week'd 
    been 
    barely 
    one 

    When 
    death 
    sweeping 
    over 
    the 

    land 
    took 
    them one 
    by 
    one 

    And 
    they'd 
    not 
    been 
    gone 
    a 
    week, 

    a wink 
    but 
    barely 
    three 

    When 
    word 
    come 
    to 
    that young 
    girl, 

    a 
    babe 
    she'd 
    never 
    see 

    I 
    wish 
    the 
    wind 
    would 
    nev
    er 
    blow, 

    no 
    fish 
    swim 
    in 
    the 
    flood 

    Till 
    my 
    darling 
    babes 
    are home, 

    they're 
    home 
    in 
    flesh 
    and 
    blood 

    And 
    there 
    about 
    the 
    mountain 
    mass, 

    the knights 
    along 
    the 
    knock, 

    Heard 
    three 
    kids 
    come 
    to 
    her 
    door, 

    their 
    hats 
    were 
    made 
    of 
    bark, 

    And the 
    tree 
    never 
    grew 
    in 
    any 
    ditch, 

    nor down 
    by 
    any 
    wall. 

    But 
    at 
    the gates 
    of 
    paradise, 

    be strong 
    and 
    true to 
    all 

    Blow 
    out the 
    fire, 
    my 
    maidens, 

    or bring 
    wa
    ter 
    from 
    the 
    well 

    Since 
    my 
    darling 
    babes 
    are home, 

    they 
    come 
    home 
    safe 
    and 
    well 

    So 
    she 
    has 
    laid 
    the 
    table 
    with 

    bread 
    and 
    with 
    wine 

    Come 
    eat 
    and 
    drink, 
    my 
    darling 
    babes, 

    Eat 
    and 
    drink, 
    and 
    mime. 

    We may 
    not 
    eat 
    your 
    bread, 
    mother, 

    Nor 
    may 
    we drink 
    your 
    wine, 

    For 
    cold 
    death 
    is 
    lord 
    of 
    all, 

    To 
    him 
    we 
    must 
    resign. 

    The green 
    grass 
    is 
    at our 
    head, 

    And the 
    clay 
    is 
    at 
    our 
    feet, 

    And 
    your 
    tears 
    come 
    tumbling 
    down, 

    And 
    wet 
    our 
    whining 
    sheet. 

    So 
    she 
    has 
    made 
    the bed 
    for 
    them, 

    spread 
    the 
    milk 
    white 
    sheet 

    She's 
    laid 
    it all 
    with 
    cloth 
    of gold 

    to see 
    if 
    they 
    could sleep 

    And 
    up 
    and 
    crew 
    the 
    red 
    cock, 

    up 
    and 
    crew 
    the 
    grey 

    And 
    the 
    youngest 
    to 
    the 
    eld
    est 
    says, 

    brother 
    we 
    must 
    away 

    And 
    the 
    cock 
    had 
    not 
    crowed 
    once 

    and 
    clapped 
    his 
    wings 
    for 
    day 

    When 
    the 
    eldest 
    to 
    the youngest 
    says, 

    Brother, 
    we 
    must 
    away 

    For 
    the 
    cock 
    crowed 
    the day 

    Dawn, 
    the chonnering 
    wurrum 
    shrie 

    And 
    if 
    we're 
    missed 

    out 
    of our 
    place 

    Then, 
    pain, 
    we must 
    bide 

    Farewell, 
    farewell, 
    my 
    mother 
    dear 

    Farewell 
    to 
    barn 
    and 
    fire 

    Oh, 
    farewell, 
    the sweet 
    young 
    girl 

    Kindling 
    her mother's 
    fire

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
