BURL IVES

When I was young, I used to wait

On the boss and give him his plate

And pass him 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

My master's gone away



And When he would ride in the afternoon

I'd follow after, with a hickory broom

The pony being rather 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

My master's gone away



One day, he ride around the farm

The flies so numerous, they did swarm

One chanced to bite him on the thigh

The devil take 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

My master's gone away



The pony run, he jumped, he pitch

He threw my master in the 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

My master's gone away



They lay him under a 'simmon tree

His epitaph is there to see

"Beneath this stone, I'm forced to lie

Victim of 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

My master's gone away
