Sing me, sing me an old fashioned song
Bri-ing me-ee, back in my mind
To a time when my memories all come from
A good timin' song, a song that makes you wanna sing along
A good old fashioned, hand-clappin, knee-slappin, foot-tappin' song
Shoo-fly don't bother me, Shoo-fly don't bother me
Shoo-fly don't bother me, I don't want your company
Fly's in the buttermilk, two by two
Fly's in the buttermilk, shoo fly shoo
Fly's in the buterrmilk, skip to my loo
Skip to my loo my darlin'
Sing me, (si-ing me)
Sing me an old fashioned song (Sing me an old fashioned song)
Bri-ing me (bri-ing me), back in my mind
To a time when my memories all come from
A good timin' song, a song that makes you wanna sing along
A good old fashioned, hand-clappin, knee-slappin, foot-tappin' song
When I was young I used to wait upon my master and bring his plate
Pass the bottle when his was dry, Shoo 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, My master's gone away
Sing me, (si-ing me)
Sing me an old fashioned song (Sing me an old fashioned song)
Bri-ing me (bri-ing me), back in my mind
To a time when my memories all come from
A good timin' song, a song that makes you wanna sing alo-o-ong
A good old fashioned, hand-clappin, knee-slappin, foot-tappin' song
Sing me, (si-ing me)
Sing me an old fashioned song
