Blue-Tail Fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta's gone away

[Verse 1:]
Rode-a, he ride him and he jumped a ditch
He ride-a, he rode him, and the pony did pitch
The pony, he felt a little bit shy
'Cause he's bitten by that blue-tailed fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta's gone away

[Verse 2:]
When I went down in Louisiana
I stayed a little while in Texarkana
Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy
'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta's gone away

[Verse 3:]
I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana
Then I stopped out in Caspiana
And I felt a little bit shy
'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta's gone away

[Verse 4:]
When I was drivin' along in my car
I was stoppin' most anywhere
Once in while I look up in the sky
'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta's gone away

[Verse 5:]
Once in a while I do a little bit o' dance
And some of the people come around and says, "Will you allow me a little chance?
But every once in a while I feel a little bit shy
'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly

[Chorus:]
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 masta'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
My masta's gone away
