Song Lyrics
My master s gone away, and when he d ride in the afternoon, the victim of a blue-tail fly
Jimmy crack corn, jimmy crack corn Tail, jimmy crack corn
the flies so numerous they did swarm
he died and the jury wondered why
beneath this stone i m forced to lie
and pass the bottle when he got dry
And i don t care, and i don t care, when bitten by a blue-tail fly
Jimmy crack corn, jimmy crack corn, the devil take the blue-tail fly
And i don t care, jimmy crack corn, my master s gone away
Jimmy crack corn, and pass the bottle when he got dry
Jimmy crack corn, jimmy crack corn
Jimmy crack corn, the pony run
My master s gone away, the victim of a blue-tail fly
Jimmy crack corn, he died and the jury wondered why Tail, and i don t care
jimmy crack corn
they lay him under a simmon tree
my master s gone away
The devil take the blue-tail fly, and i don t care
And i don t care, jimmy crack corn Tail, he threw my master in the ditch
Jimmy crack corn, the pony being rather shy
And i don t care, jimmy crack corn, they lay him under a simmon tree
jimmy crack corn
On the boss and give him his plate, and i don t care
and i don t care
One chanced to bite him on the thigh, the verdict was the blue-tail fly
The victim of a blue-tail fly, my master s gone away
Jimmy crack corn, and i don t care Burl, the pony run
Jimmy crack corn, jimmy crack corn
And i don t care, jimmy crack corn Tail, the pony being rather shy
And when he d ride in the afternoon, my master s gone away, and i don t care
My master s gone away, and i don t care, and when he d ride in the afternoon
