Blue Tail Fly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was young [G]I used to wait
On the [D]boss and bring him his [A]plate
And [D]pass the bottle [G]when he got dry
And [A]brush away the [D]blue -tailed fly
Jimmy Crack Corn and [A]I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn and [D]I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn and [G]I don't care
My [A]master's [D]gone away.
And when he'd [G]ride in the afternoon,
On [D]follow -after with [A]a hickory broom,
The pony being [G]rather shy,
When bit[A]ten by a [D]blue -tailed fly,
Jimmy Crackhorn and [A]I don't care,
Jimmy Crackhorn and [D]I don't care,
Jimmy Crackhorn,
and [G]I don't care,
My master's [A]gone away.[D]
One day he ride [G]around the farm,
The flies [D]so numerous,
[A]they did swarm.
[D]One chance to bite him on the [G]thigh,
The devil [A]take the [D]blue -tailed fly.
The pony [G]run, he jumpy pitch,
He threw my [D]master in a [A]ditch.
He [D]died, and the [G]jury wondered why
The [A]verdict was the
[D]blue -tailed fly
Jimmy Crack Corn, and [A]I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn, and
[D]I don't care
Jimmy Crack Corn, and [G]I don't care
My [A]master's gone away
[D]They buried him under [G]a cement tree
His epi[D]taph is [A]there to see
Beneath this [G]stone I'm forced to lie
The [A]victim of a [D]blue -tailed fly
Jimmy Crackcorn and [A]I don't care
Jimmy Crackcorn and [D]I don't care
Jimmy Crackhorn and [G]I don't care
My master[A]'s gone [G]away[D]
