    Verse 1
    Out 
    on 
    a shrimp 

    boat 
    I just 
    dropped 
    the 
    net 

    When 
    the wind 
    she 
    come 
    to blowing 

    Whizzing 
    bad 
    all to 
    get 

    I 
    look 
    south 
    east 
    and 
    golly 
    me 
    what 
    I 
    see 

    A 
    black 
    thundercloud 
    with them 

    fuzzy 
    eyebrows 

    Come 
    a 
    looking 
    direct 
    to

    wards 

    Boudleaux and me 

    I 
    turned 
    to 
    boudleaux and 
    me 
    I 
    said 

    Put 
    the sugar 
    to 
    bed 
    put 
    the sugar 
    to 
    bed 

    Lock 
    up 
    the 
    coffee 
    in 
    the 
    coffee 
    pot 

    Put 
    the 
    flour 
    in 
    your 
    pillow 

    Because 
    it's 
    all 
    we 
    got 

    Hang 
    the 
    lantern 
    from 
    the ceiling 

    And 
    watch 
    your 
    head 

    Ho 
    boudleaux put 
    the sugar 

    to bed 

    Boudleaux put 
    the sugar 
    to 
    bed 

    Well 
    the sky 
    she 
    get 
    dark 
    and 

    Then 
    she 
    turn 
    dark 
    black 

    I 
    yell 
    she 
    going 
    to 
    blow 
    one 

    Right 
    out 
    of 
    the almanac 

    A 
    big 
    raindrop 
    smacked 

    me 
    right 
    on 
    the 
    ear 

    And I 
    hollered 
    hey 
    boudleaux but 

    The 
    way 
    the wind 
    blow 

    He 
    just 
    as 
    soon 
    be 
    deaf 
    there 

    Wasn't 
    no 
    how 
    to 
    hear 

    I try 
    to 
    call 
    to 
    boudleaux but 
    slid 
    instead 

    Then 
    me 
    and 
    boudleaux put 
    the 

    sugar 
    to 
    bed 



    Well 
    the 
    ends 
    of 
    that 
    shrimping 

    Boat 
    was 
    switching 
    around 

    She 
    turned 
    sideways 
    and 
    inners and 

    Outers 
    an
    d upside 
    down 

    The 
    water 
    come 
    in 
    trying 
    to 

    Drown 
    the 
    both 
    of 
    us 

    The 
    closet 
    top 
    open 
    and 
    the 

    Shillet went a 
    flying 

    Me 
    I 
    hit 
    my 
    head 
    and 
    kinda 
    cuss 

    But 
    most 
    of all 
    I frowned 
    when 

    She 
    calm 
    that 
    I said 

    Put 
    the sugar 
    to 
    bed 
    put 

    the 
    sugar 
    to 
    bed 

    Ain't 
    noth
    ing 
    dry 
    but 
    my 

    Railroad 
    watch 
    the 
    salt 

    Got 
    soggy 
    but 
    we 
    still 
    can 
    budge 

    We 
    built 
    a 
    fire 
    for 
    the 

    Coffee 
    and 
    we 
    chicory 
    fed 

    Because 
    me 
    and 
    boudleaux put 

    the 
    sugar 
    to 
    bed 

    Me 
    and 
    boudleaux put 
    the sugar 
    to 
    bed

      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.

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
