    • Verse 1
    Did 
    you see 
    him going? 

    It was 
    early this morning. 

    He 
    passed 
    by these 
    houses on 

    his way to 
    the coal. 

    He was tall, 
    he was 
    slender
    , 

    and his dark 
    eyes so 
    tender
    . 

    His occupation 
    was 
    mining 

    West 

    Virginia 
    his 
    home. 

    It 
    was just 
    be
    fore 12 
    I 

    was feeding 
    the children. 

    Ben 

    Moseley 
    came running 
    to 

    bring us the 
    news. 

    Num
    ber 8 
    is all 
    flooded and 
    many 

    men are 
    in danger
    . 

    And we 
    don't know 
    their number 
    but 

    we 
    fear 
    they're 
    all 
    doomed. 

    So 
    I picked 
    up the 
    baby and 

    I left 
    all the 
    others 

    To comfort 
    each 
    other 

    and pray 
    for our 
    own 

    There 
    is 

    Timmy 
    four
    teen 
    an
    d 
    there's 

    John 
    not 

    much 
    young
    er 

    Their 
    own 
    time soon 
    will be coming 

    to go 
    down 
    the 
    black hole. 

    Oh, 
    if I had 
    the 
    money to 
    do more 

    than just 
    feed them, 

    I'd 
    give them 
    good learning, 

    the best 
    could 
    be found. 

    So 
    when they 
    grow up, 

    they'd 
    be 
    checkers 
    an
    d weighers 

    an
    d not 
    spend their 
    time 
    drilling 

    in the 
    dark 
    underground. 

    Now 
    what 
    can I say 
    to his 

    poor little 
    chil
    dren? 

    Or what can 
    I 
    tell his 

    old mother at 
    home? 

    Or what 
    can I 
    say to 
    my heart 

    that's clear broken? 

    To 
    my 
    heart that's 
    clear broken 

    if 
    my 
    darling is 
    gone. 

    Say did 
    you 
    see him 
    going so 

    early 
    this morning? 

    He walked 
    by your houses 

    on 
    his 
    way to 
    the coal. 

    He 
    was 
    tall, 
    he 
    was slender, 

    and 
    his dark 
    eyes 
    so tender. 

    His 
    occupa
    tion was 
    mine 
    in 

    West

    Vir
    ginia, 
    his home.

      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.
