 -3 -3* -3   3  -2  -1  -1  -3*...
When I was young I used to wait 
1  -2  -2  -2   2    2  -2    3...
on Mas-ter and hand him his plate, 
-3   -3* -3   3   3   -2  -1 -1  -3*...
And pass the bot-tle when he got dry  
-1    1   2  3  -3*  -3   -2  -2
and brush a-way the Blue Tail Fly.

Jim-my crack corn and I don't care, 
 1  1    3    3    3 -2  -3    -3
Jim-my crack corn and I don't care, 
-2  -2  -3    -3  -3 -3* -5    -5...
Jim-my crack corn and I don't care, 
-5  5    5    -3* 3 -2
My Mas-ter's gone a-way.
