A E
When I was young I used to wait
A
On master and hand him his plate
A7 D
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
E E7 A
And brush away the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
A E
When he would ride in the afternoon
A
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
A7 D
The pony being rather shy
E E7 A
When bitten by the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
A E
One day he rode around the farm
A
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
A7 D
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
E E7 A
The devil take the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly
