Sing me sing me an old fashioned song
Bring me back in my mind to a time where my memories all come from
A good timin' song the kind that makes you want to sing along
A good ole fashioned hand clappin' knee slappin' foot tappin' song
Shoo fly don't bother me shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me I don't want your company
Flies in the buttermilk two by two flies in the buttermilk shoo fly shoo
Flies in the buttermilk skip to my lou skip to my lou my darlin'
When I was young I used to wait upon my master and bring his plate
And pass the bottle when he was dry and brush away the blue-tail fly
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care
Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care the master's gone away
