    Way 
    up 
    high in 
    the siree 
    peaks where 

    the yellow jack 
    pines grow 
    tall. 

    Buster 
    gigs and 

    Saint's 

    Brush 

    Sam had 
    a roundup 
    way last 
    fall. 

    And 
    the old 
    calf who 
    flopped long 

    ears 
    who didn't bush 
    up by 
    day 

    Got 
    his 
    long ears 
    chiseled and 
    his old hide 

    sizzled 
    in the most artist
    ic way 

    Says 

    Buster 

    Giggs to 

    Satebrush 

    Sam as 
    he throwed 
    his long legs 

    down 

    I'm getting 
    tired of 
    cowography 

    and 
    I reckon I'll 
    jog to 
    town 

    They 
    started 
    out on 
    the right smart 

    loaf or 
    had worn no 
    sight of 
    a ride 

    And 
    them was 
    the days when 
    the good cow 

    puns 
    could aisle 
    up 
    his in
    sides. 


    At 
    the old 

    Kentucky 
    bar 
    they 
    stopped near 

    the end of 

    Whiskey 

    Row, 

    And 
    they 
    wound up 
    tight some 
    time that 
    night, 

    some forty 
    drink
    s below. 

    The 
    house turned 
    round and 
    sat them 
    up, 


    Started in 
    the other way. 

    Honest 
    to goodness, 

    tell the 
    truth, 

    The boys got 
    stewed that 

    day. 

    Well, they both split 
    out for 

    the siree 
    peaks, 

    Packin' 
    up a darn good 
    load. 

    And 
    who should 
    they meet but 

    the devil himself, 

    Just 
    a -prancin' 
    down the 
    road. 

    Confound 
    you ornery 
    cowboy 
    skunks, 


    You better had 
    a hunch, you 
    ho! 

    For 
    I am 
    the devil from 

    the hell's 
    rim 

    Rocks come to 
    gather 
    up your 

    soul. 


    The devil, 
    be darned, says, 

    Buster 

    Giggs, 

    We 
    boys both 
    know we're 
    tight. 

    But 
    be
    fore you 
    corral any 

    cowboy's 
    soles, 

    You'll 
    sure have 
    a beautiful 
    fight
    . 

    He 
    throwed 
    his rope and 
    he throwed her 
    straight, 


    She spun down 
    good and 
    true, 

    And 
    he 
    looped 
    the devil by 

    his binded 
    horns, 

    And 
    he tucked his 
    dally's 
    too. 

    Oh, 

    Sagebrush 

    Sam was 
    a lariat 
    man, 

    With his gut line 
    coiled up 
    neat, 

    He 
    throwed her out 
    fair, 

    and he built him 
    a hole, 

    And he roped the 
    devil's hind 
    feet. 

    They 
    laid 
    him out and 

    stretched him 
    down, 

    While 
    the sizzling 
    iron grew 
    hot, 

    They 
    trimmed his 
    horns with 
    a de -horn 
    saw, 

    and they 
    branded 
    him a 
    lawn. 


    They 
    tied ten 
    knots in 
    the old boy's 
    tail, 

    and they left him 
    there for 
    a 
    joke. 

    With 
    a 
    bellerin' 
    cough, 
    as he loped right 
    off, 

    necked up to 
    a black jacko. 

    If 
    you ever go 
    to ridin' 
    in the siree 
    peaks and 
    you hear one 
    awful 
    wail, 

    you 
    know it's 

    the devil as 
    he howls 
    and prowls 

    with an odds tied 
    in his 
    tail.

      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.
