Lyrics

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 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 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
