Lyrics

When I was young I us’d to wait

On Massa and hand him de plate;

Pass down de bottle when he git dry,

And bresh away de blue tail fly.

Jim crack corn I don’t care,

Jim crack corn I don’t care,

Jim crack corn I don’t care,

Ole Massa gone away. [1]

OR

When I was young I us’d to wait

On the master and hand him his plate;

And Pass down the bottle when he got dry,

And brush away the blue tail fly.

refrain (repeated each verse):

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]
