Lyrics Blue Tail Fly - Pete Seeger
When
I
was
young
I
used
to
wait
On
the
master
and
hand
him
his
plate
And
Pass
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
ride
in
the
afternoon
I
follow
with
a
hickory
broom
The
poney
being
very
shy
When
bitten
by
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
One
day
he
rode
around
the
farm
The
flies
so
numerous
they
did
swarm
One
chanced
to
bite
him
on
the
thigh
The
devil
take
that
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
and
pitch
And
tumble
mater
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
buried
him
′neath
the
sycamore
tree
His
epitaph
there
for
to
see:
"Beneath
this
stone
I'm
forced
to
lie
The
victim
of
a
blue-tailed
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
