When I was young I use' to wait On ma*sa an' hand him his plate An' pa*s de bottle when he got dry An' brush away de blue-tail fly Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Ol' Ma*sa's gone away One day he ride aroun' de farm De flies so num'rous they did swarm One chanced to bite him on de thigh De devil take de blue-tail fly! Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Ol' Ma*sa's gone away De pony run, he jump he pitch He threw my Ma*sa in de ditch He died an' de jury wondered why De verdict was de blue-tail fly Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Ol' Ma*sa's gone away They lay him under a simmon tree His epitaph is there to see -- "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie -- Victim of de blue-tail fly." Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Jimmie crack corn an' I don't care Ol' Ma*sa's gone away
