The Blue Tailed Fly (Jimmie Crack Corn) |
| 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, |
| ‘Cause he’s bitten by that blue-tailed 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 mastas gone away. |
| When I went down in Louisiana, |
| I stayed a little while in Texarkana |
| Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed 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 mastas gone away |
| I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana, |
| Then I stopped out in Caspiana |
| And I felt a little bit shy, |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed 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 mastas gone away |
| When I was drivin' along in my car |
| I was stoppin' most anywhere |
| Once in while I look up in the sky |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed 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 mastas gone away |
| 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 |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed 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 mastas gone away. |
| 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. |
