www.youtube.com/lewdite www.youtube.com/ldsongscreen --- When I was young I used to wait On my master and hand him his plate And Pass the bottle when he got dry And brush away the 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 master's gone away
And when he'd ride in the afternoon I'd follow after with my hickory broom The pony being rather shy When bitten bythe blue-tail fly
CHORUS
One day he ride around the farm Flies so numerous they did swarm One chanced to bite him on the thigh The devil take the blue-tail fly
CHORUS MUSIC
The pony run, he jump, he pitch He threw my master in the ditch He died and the jury wondered why The verdict was the blue-tail fly
CHORUS
He lay under the 'simmon tree His epitaph is there to see "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie The victim ofthe blue-tail fly"
