Not to be an a$$, but I belive the song was, "Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care..."
Which would indicate that they really did care... the song was just a front. |

When I was young I used to wait
On the boss and hand him his plate; and Pass down the bottle when he got dry, And brush away the blue tail fly. refrain (repeated each verse): Jim crack corn and I don't care, Jim crack corn and I don't care, Jim crack corn and I don't care, My master's gone away. In the two verses that follow, the singer is told to protect his master's horse from the bite of the blue-tail fly: An' when he ride in de afternoon, I foiler wid a hickory broom; De poney being berry shy, When bitten by de blue tail fly. One day he rode aroun' de farm, De flies so numerous dey did swarm; One chance to bite 'im on the thigh, De debble take dat blu tail fly. The horse bucks and the master is killed. The slave then escapes culpability: De pony run, he jump an' pitch, An' tumble massa in de ditch; He died, an' de jury wonder'd why De verdic was de blue tail fly. The reference to a "jury" and a "verdic[t]" does not imply that the slave was charged with any crime. More likely, the writer refers to a coroner's inquest into the death. They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree His epitaph there for to see "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie The victim of a blue-tailed Fly." -wiki |

 ... My IQ just went up 2 points from readin' this ... When I was young I used to wait On the boss and hand him his plate; and Pass down the bottle when he got dry, And brush away the blue tail fly. refrain (repeated each verse): Jim crack corn and I don't care, Jim crack corn and I don't care, Jim crack corn and I don't care, My master's gone away. In the two verses that follow, the singer is told to protect his master's horse from the bite of the blue-tail fly: An' when he ride in de afternoon, I foiler wid a hickory broom; De poney being berry shy, When bitten by de blue tail fly.

Why is there a song written about it? Wait a minute. At no point does it ever say "Nobody cares." It only says "I don't care," i.e., the first-person narrator/singer, who can only truly speak for himself. I'm guessing that this person knew others WOULD care; would care deeply. Deeply enough to start a multinational conglomerate for the purpose of cracking corn, and caring about those who do. So it was a marketing ploy. And it worked, because here we are 1247 years later, and we're still talking about it. |
