Blue-Tail Fly Lyrics



 When I was young I use' to wait

On massa an' hand him his plate

An' pass de bottle when he got dry

An' brush away de blue-tail fly


Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Ol' Massa's gone away


One day he ride aroun' de farm

De flies so num'rous they did swarm

One chanced to bite him on de thigh

De devil take de blue-tail fly!


Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Ol' Massa's gone away


De pony run, he jump he pitch

He threw my Massa in de ditch

He died an' de jury wondered why

De verdict was de blue-tail fly


Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Ol' Massa's gone away


They lay him under a simmon tree

His epitaph is there to see --

"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie --

Victim of de blue-tail fly."


Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care

Ol' Massa's gone away
