SING ME AN OLD FASHIONED SONG (L. Henley / J. Slate, 1976)
Chorus:
Sing me, sing me an old fashion song
Bring me, back in my mind, to a time where my memories all come from
A good timing song, the kind that makes you wanta sing along
A good old fashion 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 the Lou my darling
Chorus
When I was young I use to wait
Upon my master and bring his plate
And pass the bottle when his was dry
And wash 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
The master's gone away
Chorus x 2
