    group 
    of 
    jolly 
    cowboys, 

    discuss
    ing plans 
    at ease. 

    There's 
    a one I'll 
    tell you 
    something 
    boys, 

    if you 
    will listen 
    please. 

    am 
    an old cow 
    puncher, 

    and 
    here I'm 
    dressed in 
    rags. 

    But 
    used to 
    be a 
    tough one, 

    and I went on 
    great big 
    jags 

    But 
    I've 
    got a 
    home, 
    boys, 

    a good 
    one you all 
    know 

    Although 
    have not 
    seen it 
    since 
    long, 

    long 
    ago 

    I'm 
    a -goin' 
    back to 

    Dixie 
    once 
    more to 
    see them 
    all 

    I'm 
    -goin' 
    to see my 
    mother 
    when 

    the work's 
    all done this 
    fall 

    That 
    very 
    night this 
    cowboy 

    went 
    out to 
    stand his 
    guard. 

    The night was 
    dark and 
    cloudy 
    and 

    the storming 
    very 
    hard. 

    The cattle they 
    got 
    frightened 
    and 

    rushed in 
    wild stampede. 

    The 
    cowboy 
    tried to 
    hit them 

    a -riding 
    at full 
    speed. 

    While 
    a -riding 
    in the 
    darkness 

    so 
    loudly 
    did he 
    shout. 

    Try
    in' 
    his best 
    to hit him 

    and 
    turn 
    the herd 
    about 

    His 
    saddle the 
    horse did 
    stumble 

    and 
    on 
    him did 
    fall 

    The 
    boy won't 
    see his 
    mother 
    when 

    the work's 
    all done this 
    fall 

    His 
    body was 
    so 
    mangled, 

    the 
    boys 
    all thought him 
    dead 

    They 
    picked 
    him up so 
    gently 

    and 
    laid 
    him on 
    bed 

    He 
    opened 
    wide his 
    blue eyes 

    and 
    a -lookin' 
    all 
    around 

    He 
    motioned 
    to his 
    comrades 
    to 

    sit with 
    him on the 
    ground 

    Boys, 
    send mother my 
    wages, 
    the wages 
    I have 
    earned 
    am 
    afraid, 

    boys, 
    my life's 
    dear I have 
    turned 

    I'm 
    a -goin' 
    to a 
    new 
    range, 

    a -hear my 
    master's 
    call 

    I'll 
    not see my 
    mother 
    when 

    the work's 
    all done 
    this fall 

    Bill, 
    you take 
    my saddle 

    George, 
    you can 
    have my 
    bed 

    And 

    Joe, 
    you can 
    take my pistol 
    after 
    I'm 
    dead, 

    and boys, 
    think 
    of me, 
    think 
    of 
    me kindly 

    when 
    you look 
    up upon 
    them 
    all. 

    For 
    I'll 
    not see 
    my 
    mother when 

    the work's 
    all 

    done 
    this 
    fall. 

    Poor 

    Charlie 
    was bur
    ied 
    at sunrise, 

    no tomb
    stone 
    at 
    his head. 

    Noth
    ing 
    but 
    little 
    bored, 

    and 
    this 
    is what 
    it said 

    Charlie 
    died 
    at 
    daybreak, 

    he 
    died 
    from 
    fall 

    The 
    boy 
    won't 
    see 
    his 
    mother 

    When 
    the 
    work's 
    all 
    done 
    this 
    fall.

    • 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.
