[Verse 1]
G D When I was young I used to wait G On the master and hand him his plate, G7 C And pass the bottle when he got dry, D G And brush away the blue tail fly.
[Chorus]
G D [tab] G Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G7 C Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, D G My master's gone away.
[Verse 2]
G D And when he ride in the afternoon, G I follow with a hickory broom; G7 C The pony being very shy, D G When bitten by the blue tail fly.
[Chorus]
G D Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G7 C Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, D G My master's gone away.
[Verse 3]
G D One day he rode around the farm, G The flies so numerous they did swarm; G7 C One chanced to bite him on the thigh. D G The devil take that blue tail fly.
[Chorus]
G D Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G7 C Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, D G My master's gone away.
[Verse 4]
G D The pony run, he jump and pitch, G And tumble master in the ditch; G7 C He died, and the jury wondered why; D G The verdict was the blue tail fly.
[Chorus]
G D Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G7 C Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, D G My master's gone away.
[Verse 5]
G D They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree - G His epitaph there for to see: G7 C "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie, D G The victim of a blue-tailed fly."
[Chorus]
G D Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, G7 C Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, D G My master's gone away.
