Jimmy Crack Corn |
| 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 |
