Sing Me An Old Fashioned Song

Billie Jo Spears


Tom: G

 G
Sing me, sing me an old-fashioned song,
D                                         D7 G
bring me, back in my mind to a time where my memories all come from.
   C                                                   G
A good timin' song, a kind that makes you wanna sing along,
   D                                               D7           G
a good old fashioned, hand-clappin, knee-slappin, foot-tappin' song

      G                    D                         G
    Shoo-fly don't bother me, shoo-fly don't bother me,
                           D                         G
    shoo-fly don't bother me, I don't want your company.
      G
    Fly's In the buttermilk, two by two,
     D
    fly's in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo,
     G
    fly's in the buttermilk, skip to my loo,
      D                 G
    skip to my loo, my darlin'.

      G                 C             G                 D
    When I was young I used to wait upon my master and bring his plate,
     G                   C             D              G
    pass the bottle when his was dry, wash away the blue tail fly.
     G                   D                                  G
    Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
                         C                 D              G
    Jimmy crack corn and I don't care, my master's gone away.
