Jimmy Crack Corn (Blue Tail Fly) chords
American Traditional 1840s
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Crack_Corn
A E
When I was young I used to wait
A
On master and hand him his plate
A7 D
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
E E7 A
And brush away the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
A E
When he would ride in the afternoon
A
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
A7 D
The pony being rather shy
E E7 A
When bitten by the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
A E
One day he rode around the farm
A
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
A7 D
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
E E7 A
The devil take the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly
A E
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
A7 D
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
E E7 A
My master's gone away
Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"

The second line of each verse, should end with a C7th chord in the key of F. Whatever key you sing it in, the second line
should end on the 7th version of the 5th chord in the progression. In the key of F, we use Bb instead of A#. In the key
of A, use E7.

Hey man, in the verses only, please make an edit. in the first line it should always be A#, not C. Thats just the verses, the chorus is alright right though UPDATE: Sorry, i transposed it to a lower key of f. I meant that those E's should be D's.
