The Blue Tail Fly (jimmie Crack Corn) lyrics
When I was young I use to wait
On massa an hand him his plate
An pass de bottle when he got dry
An brush away de blue-tail fly
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Ol Massa s gone away
One day he ride aroun de farm
De flies so num rous they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on de thigh
De devil take de blue-tail fly!
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Ol Massa s gone away
De pony run, he jump he pitch
He threw my Massa in de ditch
He died an de jury wondered why
De verdict was de blue-tail fly
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Ol Massa s gone away
They lay him under a simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see --
"Beneath this stone I m forced to lie --
Victim of de blue-tail fly."
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Jimmie crack corn an I don t care
Ol Massa s gone away
