When GI was young I Dused to wait
On the master and Ghand him his plate,
And G7pass the bottle when Che got dry,
And Dbrush away the Gblue tail fly.
[Chorus]

G7Jimmy crack corn and CI don't care,
My Dmaster's gone aGway.

And Gwhen he ride in the Dafternoon,
I follow with a Ghickory broom;
The G7pony being Cvery shy,
When Dbitten by the Gblue tail fly.
[Chorus]

Jimmy crack corn and GI don't care,
G7Jimmy crack corn and CI don't care,
My Dmaster's gone aGway.

One Gday he rode aDround the farm,
The flies so numerous Gthey did swarm;
One G7chanced to bite him Con the thigh.
The Ddevil take that Gblue tail fly.
