The Blue Tailed Fly (Jimmie Crack Corn)

Lyrics

[Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away [Verse 1] Rod-a, he ride him and he jumped a ditch He ride-a, he rode him, and the pony did pitch The pony, he felt a little bit shy 'Cause he's bitten by that blue-tailed fly [Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away [Verse 2] When I was down in Louisiana I stayed a little while in Texarkana Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy 'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly [Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy cracks corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away [Verse 3] I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana Then I stopped out in Caspiana And I felt a little bit shy 'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly [Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away [Verse 4] When I was drivin' along in my car I would stop most anywhere Once in while I look up in the sky 'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly [Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away [Verse 5] Once in a while I do a little bit o'dance And some of the people come around and says, "Will you allow me a little chance?" But every once in a while I feel a little bit shy 'Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly [Chorus] Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away, yes Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Jimmy crack corn and I don't care Martha's gone away
