Blue Tail Fly Songtext
von The Sunshine Kids

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
