lirik lagu burl ives - blue tail fly
when i was young, i used to wait
on the boss and give him his plate
and p-ss 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
