Lyrics Blue Tail Fly - Burl Ives
When
I
was
young,
I
used
to
wait
On
the
boss
and
give
him
his
plate
And
pass
him
the
bottle
when
he
got
dry
And
brush
away
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
And
When
he
would
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
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
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
jumped,
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
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
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
