Verse 1
D

Well, it was way high up in the Sierry Petes
A

Where the yellow pines grow tall

Rusty Diggs and Sandy Sam
D

Had a round-up camp last fall

They had their ponies and their running irons
G

And maybe a dog or two
A

And they 'lowed they'd brand

every lop-eared calf
D

That came within their view
Verse 2
D

Well many a lop-eared dogie
A

If he didn't hush up by day

Had his long ears whittled

and his old hide scorched
D

In a most artistic way

Then says Rusty Diggs to Sandy Sam
G

As he throwed his seago down
A

"I'm tired of cowbiography
D

"And I figures I'll go to town"
Interlude 1
D
A
D

Verse 3
D

They starts her in at the Kentucky Bar
A

At the head of the Whisky Row

And they ends her up at the Depot House
D

And forty drinks below

Then he winds her up

and they turns her 'round
G

And they goes her the other way
A

Tell you the Lord-forsaken truth
D

Them boys got drunk that day
Verse 4
D

Well, they was a-headin' back to camp
A

And a-packin' a mighty good load

Who should they meet but the Devil himself
D

Come prancin' down the road?

And the Devil he said, "You cowboy skunks
G

"You better go hunt your hole
A

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

"To gather in your souls"
D

Says Rusty Jiggs to the Devil
A

"Though I know we're tight

"No devil ever took no cowpunch
D

"Without one kind of a fight"
Interlude 2
D
A
D

Verse 5
D

So Rusty Jiggs punched a hole in his rope
A

He swang it straight and true

He lassoed it onto the devil's horns
D

And he's takin' his dallies true

Now Sandy Sam was a reata man
G

With his gut line coiled up neat
A

So he shakes her out out

and he builds him a loop
D

And he lassoed the Devil's hind feet
Verse 6
D

They stretched him out, they tailed him down
A

While the irons was a-gettin' hot

They cropped and swallow-forked his ears
D

And they branded him up a lot

Well they pruned him up with a dehorning saw
G

Tied knots in his tail for a joke
A

Then they rode off and left him there
D

Necked up to a black-jack oak
Outro 1
D

So if you're ever up in the Sierry Petes
A

And you hear one hell of a wail

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

About them knots in his tail
A

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

About them knots in his tail
D

  • 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.
