    • Verse 1
    I walked 
    the 
    street 
    with a 
    tap to 

    my 
    feet. 
    I heard 
    a 
    voice 
    above 
    me. 

    A 
    lovely 
    maid 
    looked 
    out 
    and 
    said, 

    I 
    need 
    someone 
    to 
    love 
    me. 

    Says 

    I, 
    my 
    dear, 
    you 
    needn't 
    fear, 

    for 
    I 
    have 
    heard 
    your 
    pleading. 

    To 
    find 
    your 
    joy 
    with 
    a 
    wayward 
    boy, 

    he's 
    got 
    just 
    what 
    you're 
    needing. 

    I 
    heard 
    of 
    you, 
    my 
    wayward 
    boy, 

    your 
    name 
    is 
    far 
    exalted 

    But 
    I won't 
    come 
    down, 
    I 
    can't 
    come 
    down, 

    my 
    bedroom 
    door 
    is 
    bolted 

    My 
    father 
    is 
    a 
    minister, 

    my 
    maidenhead 
    does 
    cherish 

    Nightly 
    he 
    does 
    lock 
    me 
    in, 

    so 
    lonely 
    I 
    do 
    perish 

    Well 
    the 
    fence 
    was 
    small, 
    I 
    shinnied 
    up the 
    wall, 

    I 
    stood 
    there 
    right 
    beside 
    her 

    With 
    some 
    alarm, 
    she 
    lif
    ted 
    up her 
    arm, 

    she grabbed 
    some 
    clothes 
    to 
    hide 
    her. 

    Says, 
    ah, 
    young 
    maid, 
    don't 
    be 
    afraid, 

    your 
    future 
    can 
    be 
    thrill
    in'. 

    If 
    you're 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    likes 
    a bit of 
    fun, 

    the 
    wayward 
    boy 
    is 
    willin'. 

    Verse 2

    Well, 
    she jumped 
    in 
    bed, 
    and 
    she 
    covered 
    up 
    her head, 

    and 
    she 
    said, 
    I couldn't 
    find 
    her. 

    She 
    knew 
    damn 
    well 
    she lied 
    like 
    hell, 

    I 
    jumped 
    in 
    right 
    be
    hind 
    her. 

    Shove 
    my 
    chest 
    up 
    to 
    her breast, 

    I 
    shook her 
    like 
    a toy 

    When 
    I 
    hit 
    the 
    bell, 

    she 
    knew damn 
    well why 
    they 
    called 
    me the 

    Wayward 

    Boy 

    Whistling 

    Well, 
    the bed 
    broke 
    down, 
    I 
    landed 
    on 
    the ground, 

    her 
    father 
    clubbed 
    my 
    gun 
    in 

    I 
    jumped 
    through the 
    glass 
    and 
    landed 
    on my 
    ass, 

    I 
    got 
    to my 
    feet 
    a 
    -run
    nin' 

    As 
    on 
    I 
    sped, 
    I turned 
    my 
    head, 

    but a 
    shotgun 
    blast 
    had 
    blinded 
    me 

    For 
    weeks 
    in 
    bed, 

    I 
    was pickin' 
    out 
    the lead 

    With 
    a 
    mirror 
    held 
    be
    hind 
    me 

    Some 
    years 
    went 
    by, 
    I 
    woke 
    up with 
    a sigh 

    As 
    fancy 
    did 
    remind 
    me 

    So 
    one fine 
    day, 
    I 
    made 
    my 
    way 

    To the 
    gal 
    I'd 
    left 
    be
    hind 
    me 

    She 
    was 
    still 
    locked 
    in 
    to ward 
    off 
    sin 

    She 
    didn't 
    look 
    much 
    older 

    But 
    she 
    had 
    five 
    girls, 
    seven 
    little 
    boys 

    And 
    a 
    baby 
    on 
    her 
    shoulder

      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.
