Blue Tail Fly - Leadbelly

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

My mastas gone away

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

Ï¿½Cause he�s bitten by that blue-tailed fly.

(Chorus)

When I went down in Louisiana

I stayed a little while in Texarkana

Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy

Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.

(Chorus)

I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana

Then I stopped out in Caspiana

And I felt a little bit shy

Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.

(Chorus)

When I was drivin� along in my car

I was stoppin� most anywhere

Once in while I look up in the sky

Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly.

(Chorus)

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

Ï¿½Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly
