Shoo Fly Dont Bother Me
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me

Well that one morning, bout a quarter to nine
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
That funky old judge gave me my time
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I was a little-bitty boy, and I did not care
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I had to leave New Orleans, and go somewhere
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Now the little bitty boy would not do right
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Born out on a walk with a [?]
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Now put on one morning and just fall kicks
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I tied my own wing, I couldn't go fed biffs
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Oh captain in a [?] to find the wanted
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
It was a razor saying and it woke up morning
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I went to the river where the water cooled down
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I jumped over boats, but I could not drown
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Ace, douche, Tre, and a jack
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I've been tex of cannon, and I won't go back
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Now early one morning, didn't nobody know
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Shot my pistol in a [?]
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
But I didn't worry, no I didn't mind
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
That little tex of cannon to shoot hero's eyes
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Well if you see me comin', get out the way
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I'm gonna get on over for the holiday
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Swing 'em high, cut 'em low
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Well cut that cable, row by row
(Shoo fly don't bother me)

Shoo fly don't bother me

Down in the big yard, don't you know
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I wanna shoot them fly wherever they go
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Oh captain, oh captain, [?]
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I don't know your name, but they call you boss
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I asked my mama, and my sweet little wife
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I'll be home this summer if it takes my life
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Down in the river, where the water roll on
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Well that same old river gonna take me home
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Now I bent my knees, don't you see?
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I'm gonna mess with you, if you don't mess with me
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
The only thing that makes me mad
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
That captain in the morning when he kicked my ass
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Now I don't know Lord, but I've been told
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Gonna rain in tex off, better show he's cold
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
That Lord said the breath of me
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Won't you kill that captain and steal his whole family
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I remember the morning, I remember you where
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
When they jammed my mama in a pick-up hot cell
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I'm gonna tell you boys about the dangers do
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
If I had my pistol, I'd be dangers too
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
I rowed one mornin' on a river and back
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
With a 32' pistol and a ten inch shank
(Shoo fly don't bother me)
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
(I don't need n company)
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
Shoo fly don't bother me
