  • 2. BLUETAIL FLY
  • 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 brushawaythe 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 hed 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 numerousthey did swarm
  • One chanced to bite him on the thigh
  • The deviltake 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 underthe 'simmon tree
  • His epitaph is there to see
  • "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
  • The victim ofthe blue-tail fly"
  • CHORUS:
  • The Masters gone away
