    Verse 1

    I'll 
    sing 
    you a 
    song 
    and 

    it's not 
    very 
    long, 

    it's 
    about a 
    young 
    man 

    who 
    wouldn't 
    hold 
    corn. 

    The reason 
    why 
    I 
    can't 
    tell, 

    this 
    young 
    man 
    was 
    always 
    well. 

    He 
    went 
    to 
    the 
    field 

    and 
    there 
    peeped 
    in 
    the 

    gents 
    and 
    weeds, 

    came 
    up to 
    his 
    chin 

    the 
    careless 
    weeds 

    that 
    grew so 
    high, 

    enough 
    to 
    make 
    this 
    young 
    man 
    cry. 

    In 
    September 
    his 
    corn was 
    knee 
    high, 

    in 
    October 
    he laid 
    it 
    by, 

    in 
    November 
    there 
    came 
    a great 
    frost 

    and 
    all 
    this 
    young 
    man's 
    corn 
    was 
    gone. 

    In 
    the 
    winter 
    I 
    was 
    told 

    He 
    went 
    a -courting 
    very 
    bold 

    When 
    his 
    courtship 
    had first 
    begun 

    My 
    kind 
    sir, 
    did 
    you make 
    any 
    corn? 

    No 
    kindness 
    was 
    his 
    reply 

    And 
    long 
    ago 
    I've 
    laid 
    it 
    by 

    And 
    it wasn't 
    worthwhile 
    to 
    strive 
    in 
    vain 

    I 
    didn't 
    expect 
    to 
    make 
    one 
    grain 

    Here 
    you 
    are 
    a 
    -wantin' 
    me 
    to wed 

    And 
    you cannot 
    make 
    your 
    own 
    cornbread 

    A 
    single 
    I 
    am 
    and 
    I'll 
    remain 

    A 
    lazy 
    man 
    I 
    won't 
    maintain 

    Go 
    down 
    yonder 
    to the 
    pretty 
    little 
    widder 

    And 
    I hope 
    by 
    heck 
    that you 
    don't 
    get 
    her 

    She 
    gave 
    him 
    the mitten 

    just as 
    sure 
    as you're 
    born 

    Outro 1
    All 
    because 
    he 
    would 
    not 
    hold 
    corn

      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.

      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

      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.
