The Fly That Rode From Buffalo - Southern Culture On The Skids

The fly that rode from Buffalo got in at Albany

Flew around the van lookin for a place to land and settled on the drummers knee

The drummer gave a swat and air is all he got that fly’s too fast for me

Was the fly that rode from Buffalo got in at Albany

He was ridin plump cause the van is such a dump there was plenty for him to eat

Hamburger wrappers and old snack crackers and French fries neath the seat

He just flew around though the windows were down cause he didn’t want to leave

Shoo fly shoo fly stay off my brick of cheese
