Blue Tail Fly

When I was young I used to wait
 On the 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 ride in the afternoon
 I follow with a hickory broom
 The poney being very 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 rode around the farm
 The flies so numerous they did swarm
 One chanced to bite him on the thigh
 The devil take that 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 and pitch
 And tumble mater 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 buried him 'neath the sycamore tree
 His epitaph there for to see:
 "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
 The victim of a 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 master's gone away
