Lyrics Bluetail Fly - Leadbelly

Bluetail Fly

Chorus: Jimmy, crack corn, and I don�t care
Jimmy, crack corn, and I don�t care
Jimmy, crack corn, and I don�t care
My mastas gone away
Rod-a, he ride him and he jumped a ditch
He ride-a, he rode him, and the pony did pitch
The pony, he felt a little bit shy
Ï¿½Cause he�s bitten by that blue-tailed fly.
(Chorus)
When I went down in Louisiana
I stayed a little while in Texarkana
Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy
Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.
(Chorus)
I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana
Then I stopped out in Caspiana
And I felt a little bit shy
Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.
(Chorus)
When I was drivin� along in my car
I was stoppin� most anywhere
Once in while I look up in the sky
Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.
(Chorus)
Once in a while I do a little bit o�dance
And some of the people come around and says, «Will you allow me a little chance?
But every once in a while I feel a little bit shy
Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly
