Jimmy Crack Corn (Blue Tail Fly) chords
American Traditional

A                  EWhen I was young I used to wait
              AOn master and hand him his plate
A7                       DPass him the bottle when he got dry
    E              AAnd brush away the blue-tail fly

A                     EJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
                      AJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7                    DJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
   E              AMy master's gone away

A                         EWhen he would ride in the afternoon
                       AI'd follow him with my hickory broom
    A7         DThe pony being rather shy
     E             AWhen bitten by the blue-tail fly

A                     EJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
                      AJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7                    DJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
   E              AMy master's gone away

A                EOne day he rode around the farm
                            AFlies so numerous that they did swarm
A7                      DOne chanced to bite him on the thigh
    E              AThe devil take the blue-tail fly

A                     EJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
                      AJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7                    DJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
   E              AMy master's gone away

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly

A                     EJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
                      AJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7                    DJimmy crack corn, and I don't care
   E              AMy master's gone away

Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"
