Blue Tail Fly

When I was young, I used to wait
At master's side and hand his plate
And pass the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
'Cause master's gone away

And when he rode in the afternoon
I'd follow with a hickory broom
The pony being very shy
When bitten by blue tail fly

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
'Cause master's gone away

The pony ran, and jumped, and pitched
And tumble master in a ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue tail fly

Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
'Cause master's gone away
