  • Verse 1
    Well, 
    it 
    was 
    way 
    high 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    Sierry 
    Petes 

    Where 
    the 
    yellow 
    pines 
    grow 
    tall 

    Rusty 
    Diggs 
    and 
    Sandy 
    Sam 

    Had 
    round-up 
    camp 
    last 
    fall 

    They 
    had 
    their 
    ponies 
    and 
    their 
    running 
    irons 

    And 
    maybe 
    dog 
    or 
    two 

    And 
    they 
    'lowed 
    they'd 
    brand 

    every 
    lop-eared 
    calf 

    That 
    came 
    within 
    their 
    view 

    Verse 2
    Well 
    many 
    lop-eared 
    dogie 

    If 
    he 
    didn't 
    hush 
    up 
    by 
    day 

    Had 
    his 
    long 
    ears 
    whittled 

    and 
    his 
    old 
    hide 
    scorched 

    In 
    most 
    artistic 
    way 

    Then 
    says 
    Rusty 
    Diggs 
    to 
    Sandy 
    Sam 

    As 
    he 
    throwed 
    his 
    seago 
    down 

    "I'm 
    tired 
    of 
    cowbiography 

    "And 
    figures 
    I'll 
    go 
    to 
    town" 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    They 
    starts 
    her 
    in 
    at 
    the 
    Kentucky 
    Bar 

    At 
    the 
    head 
    of 
    the 
    Whisky 
    Row 

    And 
    they 
    ends 
    her 
    up 
    at 
    the 
    Depot 
    House 

    And 
    forty 
    drinks 
    be
    low 

    Then 
    he 
    winds 
    her 
    up 

    and 
    they 
    turns 
    her 
    'round 

    And 
    they 
    goes 
    her 
    the 
    other 
    way 

    Tell 
    you 
    the 
    Lord-forsaken 
    truth 

    Them 
    boys 
    got 
    drunk 
    that 
    day 

    Verse 4
    Well, 
    they 
    was 
    a-headin' 
    back 
    to 
    camp 

    And 
    a-packin' 
    mighty 
    good 
    load 

    Who 
    should 
    they 
    meet 
    but 
    the 
    Devil 
    himself 

    Come 
    prancin' 
    down 
    the 
    road? 

    And 
    the 
    Devil 
    he 
    said, 
    "You 
    cowboy 
    skunks 

    "You 
    better 
    go 
    hunt 
    your 
    hole 

    "'Cause 
    I've 
    come 
    up 
    from 
    the 
    Hell's 
    rim 
    rock 

    "To 
    gather 
    in 
    your 
    souls" 

    Says 
    Rusty 
    Jiggs 
    to 
    the 
    Devil 

    "Though 
    know 
    we're 
    tight 

    "No 
    devil 
    ever 
    took 
    no 
    cowpunch 

    "Without 
    one 
    kind 
    of 
    fight" 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    So 
    Rusty 
    Jiggs 
    punched 
    hole 
    in 
    his 
    rope 

    He 
    swang 
    it 
    straight 
    and 
    true 

    He 
    lassoed 
    it 
    onto 
    the 
    devil's 
    horns 

    And 
    he's 
    takin' 
    his 
    dallies 
    true 

    Now 
    Sandy 
    Sam 
    was 
    reata 
    man 

    With 
    his 
    gut 
    line 
    coiled 
    up 
    neat 

    So 
    he 
    shakes 
    her 
    out 
    out 

    and 
    he 
    builds 
    him 
    loop 

    And 
    he 
    lassoed 
    the 
    Devil's 
    hind 
    feet 

    Verse 6
    They 
    stretched 
    him 
    out, 
    they 
    tailed 
    him 
    down 

    While 
    the 
    irons 
    was 
    a-gettin' 
    hot 

    They 
    cropped 
    and 
    swallow-forked 
    his 
    ears 

    And 
    they 
    branded 
    him 
    up 
    lot 

    Well 
    they 
    pruned 
    him 
    up 
    with 
    dehorning 
    saw 

    Tied 
    knots 
    in 
    his 
    tail 
    for 
    joke 

    Then 
    they 
    rode 
    off 
    and 
    left 
    him 
    there 

    Necked 
    up 
    to 
    black-jack 
    oak 

    Outro 1
    So 
    if 
    you're 
    ever 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    Sierry 
    Petes 

    And 
    you 
    hear 
    one 
    hell 
    of 
    wail 

    Know 
    it's 
    that 
    Devil 
    a-bellowin' 
    'round 

    About 
    them 
    knots 
    in 
    his 
    tail 

    You'll 
    know 
    it's 
    that 
    Devil 
    a-bellowin' 
    around 

    About 
    them 
    knots 
    in 
    his 
    tail

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
