    • Verse 1
    Uncle 

    Benny 

    Never 
    had a 
    penny, 

    Only 
    had 
    his 
    old 
    banjo. 

    Never 
    had 
    a job, 

    Never 
    earned 
    a bob, 

    Always 
    free to 
    come 
    and 
    go. 

    He played 
    the banjo 
    gaily, 
    boys, 

    For 
    any
    one 
    he'd 
    meet. 

    Benny 
    was 
    a fellow 
    who could 

    Sweep 
    girls 
    off 
    their feet. 

    Verse 2
    He'd 
    set 
    their 
    toes 
    a- 
    tapping 

    with his 
    song
    s, 

    Making 
    friends 
    who'd 
    join 
    him 
    as 

    he 
    slowly 
    strolled 
    along. 

    There was 
    Michael 
    Flynn 
    played 
    violin 

    While 
    Clancy 
    played 
    the flute, 

    Verse 3
    And 
    Tommy 
    McManis gave the 
    old 
    cornet 
    a toot. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    Uncle 
    Benny 

    Never 
    had 
    a penny, 

    Only 
    had his 
    old 
    banjo. 

    Fat 
    around 
    the middle, 

    Always 
    on the 
    fiddle, 

    No 
    one ever 
    seemed 
    to know. 

    In the 
    clubs 
    and 
    the pubs 
    around 
    the town, 

    Up 
    and 
    down 
    the street, 

    Verse 5
    Benny 
    was a 
    fellow 
    who could 

    Sweep 
    girls 
    off 
    their 
    feet. 

    Verse 6
    He'd 
    set 
    their 
    toes 
    a- 
    tapping 

    with his 
    song
    s, 

    Making 
    friends 
    who'd 
    join 
    him 
    as 

    he slowly 
    strolled 
    along. 

    Verse 7
    There was 
    Jack 

    McBass who played 
    the bass 

    While 
    Danny 
    played 
    the drum, 

    And 
    everyone 
    watching 
    would clap 
    their 
    hands 
    and 

    hum. 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 8
    Uncle 
    Benny 

    Never 
    had 
    a penny, 

    Only 
    had 
    his old 
    banjo. 

    Singing 
    at the 
    fair, 

    Silver 
    in 
    his hair, 

    Uncle 
    Benny 
    had 
    to go. 

    He 
    failed 
    it on 
    a high 
    note 

    In 
    his 
    final 
    show, 

    And 
    I 
    never 
    knew what 
    happened 
    to 

    Benny's 
    old 
    banjo. 

    Uncle 
    Benny 

    Never 
    had 
    a penny 

    Only 
    had 
    his own 
    ban

      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.
