| Album | Lead Belly Sings for Children |
| 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, | |
| ‘Cause he's bitten by that blue-tailed fly | |
| 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. | |
| When I went down in Louisiana, | |
| I stayed a little while in Texarkana | |
| Every once in a while, I felt a little bit shy | |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly | |
| 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 | |
| I was on my to Shreveport, Louisiana, | |
| Then I stopped out in Caspiana | |
| And I felt a little bit shy, | |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly | |
| 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 | |
| When I was drivin' along in my car | |
| I was stoppin' most anywhere | |
| Once in while I look up in the sky | |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| ‘Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly | |
| 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. | |
| 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. |
| 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 | |
| Roda, he ride him and he jumped a ditch, | |
| He ridea, he rode him, and the pony did pitch | |
| The pony, he felt a little bit shy, | |
| ' Cause he' s bitten by that bluetailed fly | |
| Jimmy, crack corn, and I don' t care | |
| Jimmy, crack corn, and I don' t care, | |
