On Massa and hand him de plate;
Pass down de bottle when he git dry,
And bresh away de blue tail fly.

Ole Massa gone away. [1]

On the master and hand him his plate;
And Pass down the bottle when he got dry,
And brush away the blue tail 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 master’s gone away. [2]
