Played by Papa Mali with 7 Walkers.
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Well early in the morning on Mardi Gras day
Shoo fly, don't bother me
All my injuns gonna meet and pray
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Well early in the morning when the sun come up
Shoo fly, don't bother me
We're gonna drink wild water from a roasting cup
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Well early in the morning on Mardi Gras day
Shoo fly, don't bother me
All my people gonna meet and pray
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Well early in the morning when the don't shine
Shoo fly, don't bother me
All my injuns gonna be on time
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Big white man on a big white horse
Shoo fly, don't bother me
I don't know his name but I called him boss
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Big white man on a big white horse
Shoo fly, don't bother me
I don't know his name but I called him boss
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
Shoo fly, don't bother me
