Jimmy crack Corn played by Brad Sondahl

[mrrayje24]

o my gosh i never knew what this song meant till now and im laughing to tears. ok when i was like 6 or 7 i remeber my uncle lived in a labor camp and id visit him and there was this old fat white man who lived there too. when we would pass by the old white mans house my uncle would sing by the window jimmy crack corn and i dont care and the old white man would come outside running yelling you better shut your mouth and my uncle would laugh and start singing jimmy crack corn and i dont care.lol

[Crazyman1212]

Jimmy's a crack whore, and I don't care!

[epsilon881]

In Soviet Russia, Corn cracks Jimmy and you care.

[L0ST1231]

Saddam?

[specsavers44]

Well done that man.....

[domoandtoonlink]

[cookieman38111]

What happened to his teeth? Too much cracking of corn???

[tauico81]

[skeletorphd]

If you don't care, what's the point of this song?

[tauico81]

@skeletorphd to manifest his lack of interest, i guess.

[eminem334455]

[lacessamino]

If Jimmy cracked corn and no one cares, why does he keep doin it?

[supah1337B]

@lacessamino I was gonna say If jimmy cracks corn and noone cares, then why is there a song about him?

[RHernies70]

[johnluke1169]

This is a good song I remember learning in Elementary School. These kinds of songs help children learn to sing and speak.

[pedro911212]

you have a nice house

[rongeorge1000]

I believe the original title was gimme(give me)crack corn(as in crack corn wiskey).Somewhere over the years this got corrupted to Jimmy.I could be wrong but it makes sence that a negro slave would sing Gimme crack corn,i dont care especially if he did not like his master very much.

[mrmolestah]

been looking for this song since i was in the 2nd grade, now im bout to be 30yrs old.....use to sing it it in music class...first time heard it the full version...THANK U VERY MUCH...

Fantastic rendition! I used to sing this in primary school choir in the late 1970's. Wouldn't see this in schools these days!

[XxXTheBracerXxX]

this is so awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[dasocket]

White slaves (indentured servants) where promised 50 acres and a hoe. Only about 25% ever got land promised to them. The free whites who got land was the worst land In the country where cotton and tobacco could not be farmed. The only crop able to farm was corn witch they distilled to make whiskey like their ancestors did in Ireland & the Scottish highlands: they where called "Corn Crackers". Cracked corn was their staple food. Today Cracker is used as a derogatory term toward whites .

[ballerdue]

I like Jimmy crack corn bye eminem and 50 cent is better.

[phatQQQ]

@ballerdue your an idiot

The orig. words were gimme cracked corn,, referring to corn liquor, and it is a minstrel song ,, not a abolotionist song. Not trying to be a jerk ,, just giving you some info, You play & sing it very good Kudos Steve

If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?

[xcode414x]

[rofthorax]

We think that Jimmy Crack is really gimcrack.. Gimcrack corn.. Would probably mean "a worthless crop"..

Is the Bango hard to play?

[bsondahl]

I play a 6 string, which is tuned and played like a guitar. The 5 string is a bit simpler, but getting used to the 5th string, which is sort of a drone, was difficult for me.

[reformedman]

excellent.

[Jarod1986]

[bsondahl]

No, you can read about possible origins by searching Blue tailed fly on Wikipedia--it goes back to the 1840's.

[ditasiva12]

Thank you!

[ditasiva12]

[bamboorules]

[yotipo91]

Thank you so much for providing the original version of this song. I don't understand what rappers gain out of ruining perfectly fine old tunes.

[cordin1337]

i think eminem should get sued for what he did to this marvellous song

[TheHeraldCrow]

He just stole the title. lol

His song doesn't even say it, it says,

"Jimmy CAN crack corn" (lame)

[ytryharder]
