Joana Emetz - The Blue-Tail Fly lyrics

When I was young I used to wait On master and hand him de plate Pa** down the bottle when he got dry And brush away de blue tail fly Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away Then after dinner master sleep He bid this fellow vigil keep And when he's 'bout to shut his eye He tells me watch the blue-tail fly Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away And when he rides in the afternoon I follow with a hickory broom The pony being verry shy When bitten by the blue-tail fly Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away One day he rode around the farm The flies so numerous they did swarm One changed to bite him on the thigh The devil take the blu-tail fly Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away The pony run, he jump and pitch And tumbled master in the ditch He died and the jury wondered why The verdict was: The blue-tail fly! Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away They laid him under a'simmon tree His epitaph am there to see: 'Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie All because of the blue-tail fly!' Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away Old master's gone, now let him rest They say all things are for the best I never forget, 'till de day I die Old master and that blue-tail fly Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Jim crack corn, I don't care Ol' master's gone away
