| 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 |
