One early version set the idyllic (yet ironic) scene thus: When I was young A us'd to wait On Massa and hand him de plate; Pass down the bottle when he git dry, And bresh away de blue tail fly. refrain (repeated each verse): Jim crack corn — I don't care, Jim crack corn — I don't care, Jim crack corn — I don't care, Old Massa gone away. Two further verses show the singer being told to protect his master's horse from the bite of the blue-tail fly: An' when he ride in de arternoon, I foiler wid a hickory broom; De poney being berry shy, When bitten by de blue tail fly. One day he rode aroun' de farm, De flies so numerous dey did swarm; One chance to bite 'im on the thigh, De debble take dat blu tail fly. The horse bucks and the master is killed. The slave then escapes culpability: De poney run, he jump an' pitch, An' tumble massa in de ditch; He died, an' de jury wonder'd why De verdic was de blue tail fly. The reference to a "jury" and a "verdic[t]" does not indicate that the slave was charged with any crime. It refers instead to a coroner's inquest into the death.[citation needed] They buried him neath the sycamore tree His epitaph there for to see "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie The victim of a blue-tailed Fly. "
Very cool! NYC will be a great town for you to grow in what you do and get a bit more exposer I think! I will try to get that video back up right now. The show that the video documents went very well I think. I would love to come visit NYC and discuss music with you. I'll let you know when I get that vid working :)
