Blue Tail Fly.
************************
1) When I was young I use to wait
Upon my master, and hand him his plate.
I'd pass the bottle when he got dry,
And brush away the blue tail fly! (Chorus)
*******************************************************
CHORUS:
____________________________________________________
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care! (3x)
My master's gone away!
____________________________________________________
2) And when he'd ride in the afternoon
I'd follow him with a hickory broom.
That Pony being rather shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly! (Chorus)
****************************************************
3) One day while I was riding around the farm
The flies were so numerous they'd form a swarm.
One chance to bite him on the thigh
Devil take the blue tail fly. (Chorus)
****************************************************
4) The pony ran he jumped he pitched
He threw my master in the ditch!
He died and everyone wondered why,
The verdict was the blue tail fly! (Chorus)
****************************************************
5) I laid him under a cinnamon tree,
His epitaph is there to read:
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue tail fly!" (Chorus)
