A good timin' song, a kind that makes you wanna sing along,
      D                                                                         D7              G
a good old fashioned, hand-clappin, knee-slappin, foot-tappin' song

         G                            D                                      G

    shoo-fly don't bother me, I don't want your company.
       G
    Fly's In the buttermilk, two by two,
     D
    fly's in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo,
     G
    fly's in the buttermilk, skip to my loo,
       D                          G
    skip to my loo, my darlin'.

         G                          C                     G                             D
    When I was young I used to wait upon my master and bring his plate,

    pass the bottle when his was dry, wash away the blue tail fly.
      G                               D                                                     G
    Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
                                        C                          D                      G
