Big old owl,with eyes so bright
And many a dark and starry night
I often heard my true love say
Sing all night and sleep all day
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Oh, master's gonna away
Said the blackbird to the crow
Down to the cornfield let us flow
Puling out corn is been our trade
Ever since Adam and Eve was made
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Oh, master's gonna away
Said the shell-duck to the crane
When do you think we'll have some rain
The farm's so muddy and the brook's so dry
If it wasn't for the tap holes we'd all died
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Oh, master's gonna away
Whеn I was a boy I used to wait
On masters table and passеd the plate
And around the bottle when he got dry
And brushed away the blue tail fly
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Oh, master's gonna away
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Jim crack corn, I don't care
Oh, master's gonna away
