Blue Tail Fly |
When I was young I used to wait |
On the boss and give him his plate |
And Pass the bottle when he got dry |
And brush away the blue-tail fly |
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 master’s gone away |
And when he’d ride in the afternoon |
I’d follow after with a hickory broom |
The pony being rather shy |
When bitten by a blue-tail fly |
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 master’s gone away |
One day he ride around the farm |
The flies so numerous they did swarm |
One chanced to bite him on the thigh |
The devil take the blue-tail fly |
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 master’s gone away |
The pony run, he jump, he pitch |
He threw my master in the ditch |
He died and the jury wondered why |
The verdict was the blue-tail fly |
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 master’s gone away |
They lay him under a 'simmon tree |
His epitaph is there to see |
«Beneath this stone I’m forced to lie |
The victim of a blue-tail fly» |
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 master’s gone away |
The master’s gone away |
