Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
When [G]I was young, I [Em]used to wait
On [D]Master and give [A]him his plate
And pass [G]the bottle when he [Em]was dry
[A]And brush away the [D]blue -tailed fly
Jimmy Crack Corn an[A]d I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn [D]and I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn [G]and I don't c[Em]are
My [A]Master's gone [D]away[G][A]
[D]When he'[G]d ride in the aft[Em]ernoon,
[D]I'd follow at with a hickory [A]broom,
the [G]pony being [Em]rather shy
when [A]bitten by the
[D]blue -tailed fly.
Jimmy Crack Corn [A]and I don't care,
Jimmy Crack Corn [D]and I don't care,
Jimmy Crack Corn an[G]d I don't [Em]care,
my [A]master's gone [D]away.[G][A]
[D]One day[G] he ride aro[Em]und the farm,
The [D]plies so numerous [A]they did swarm,
One [G]chance to bite him [Em]on the thigh,
The [A]devil take the [D]blue -tailed fly.
Jimmy Crack Corn [A]and I don't care,
Jimmy Crack Corn and [D]I don't care,
Jimmy Crack Corn an[G]d I don't [Em]care,
My [A]master's gone [D]away.
[G][A][D][Eb][Ab][Bb]
[Eb]The pony[Ab] ran, he jumpe[Fm]d, he pitched,
He [D]threw my master [Bb]in the ditch.
He [Ab]died, and the jury [Fm]wondered why,
The [Bb]verdict was the
[Eb]blue -tailed fly.
Jimmy Crack Corn,

Jimmy Crack Corn,
[Eb]and I don't care,
Jimmy Crack Corn, an[Fm]d I don't care,
My [Bb]master's gone [Eb]away.[Ab][Bb]
[Eb]They lay h[Ab]im under[Fm] a cement tree
His [Eb]epi [D]taph is there to s[Bb]ee
Be[Ab]neath this stone I'm [Fm]forced to lie
[Bb]Victim of the [Eb]blue -tailed fly
Jimmy Crackcord [Bb]and I don't care
Jimmy Crackcord [Eb]and I don't
care
Jimmy Crackcord [Ab]and I don't c[Fm]are
My [Bb]master's [Bbdim]gone away[Eb] you[Cm][Eb]
