1
When I was young, I used to wait
2
On the boss and give him his plate
3
And pass him the bottle when he got dry
4
And brush away the blue tail fly
5
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
6
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
7
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
8
My master's gone away
9
And When he would ride in the afternoon
10
I'd follow after, with a hickory broom
11
The pony being rather shy
12
When bitten by blue tail fly
13
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
14
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
15
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
16
My master's gone away
17
One day, he ride around the farm
18
The flies so numerous, they did swarm
19
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
20
The devil take the blue tail fly
21
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
22
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
23
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
24
My master's gone away
25
The pony run, he jumped, he pitch
26
He threw my master in the ditch
27
He died and the jury wondered why
28
The verdict was the blue tail fly
29
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
30
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
31
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
32
My master's gone away
33
They lay him under a 'simmon tree
34
His epitaph is there to see
35
"Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie
36
Victim of the blue tail fly"
37
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
38
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
39
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
40
My master's gone away
