THE BLUE TAIL FLY II chrom
(Jimmy Crack Corn)
19th C. American folk song
Key: E
-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.
