文本歌词

When I was young I used to wait
On my master and hand 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's ride in the afternoon
I'd follow after with my hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by 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
One day he ride around the farm
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
He lay under the simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of 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
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care
The Masters gone away
