Burl Ives feat. The Andrews Sisters - Blue Tail Fly - Remastered Lyrics

Lyrics Blue Tail Fly - Remastered - Burl Ives , The Andrews Sisters



When I was young, I used to wait
On master and give him his plate
And pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn, I don′t care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
My master's gone away
And when he'd ride in the afternoon
I′d follow after, with a hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn, I don′t care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
My master's gone away
One day, he ride around the farm
The flies so numerous, they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
The devil take the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
My master's gone away
The pony run, he jump, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue tail fly
Jimmy, crack corn, I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
My master'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 the blue tail fly"
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don't care
Jimmy, crack corn and I don′t care
My master's gone away
Master's gone away
