| 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, | |
| Cause 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 | |
| Cause 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, | |
| Cause 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 | |
| Cause 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 | |
| Cause I was bitten by that blue-tailed fly. | |
| (Chorus) (2x) |
