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 clapping'

knee slapping, foot tappin' song

sho fly don't bother me

sho fly don't bother me

sho fly don't bother me

i don't want your company

flies in the buttermilk two by two

flies in the buttermilk sho fly sho

flies in the buttermilk skip to my lou

skip to the lou my darling

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 clapping'

knee slapping, foot tappin' song

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

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 clapping'

knee slapping, foot tappin' song

(fade)

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
