-6*  7* 7*   6   6 -5* -6* -6*

When I was young I used to wait
-6*-6* -6* -5*  -6* -6*  6    6
on mas-ter hand-ing him his plate,
6    7*    7*  6   6   6   5*  5* -7
I brought his bot-tle when he was dry
 5*   -4   -5*-6* -7   7*   6    6
and brushed a-way the Blue Tail Fly.
-4  -4   6    6    6 -5* -6*  -6*
Jim-my crack corn and I don't care,
-4  -4  -6*  -6*  -6* 6   7*   7*
Jim-my crack corn and I don't care,
 6  6    7*   7*   7* -7  8*   8*
Jim-my crack corn and I don't care,
 8* -8   -8    -7 -6* 6
old mas-ter’s gone a-way.
