  • Jimmy Crack Corn est une chanson traditionnelle américaine de minstrel show composée dans les années 1840. La chanson est narrée par un esclave qui se lamente de la mort de son maître dans un accident d'équitation. Des auteurs ont toutefois interprété la chanson comme ayant un sous-texte de célébration de la mort du maître par l'esclave, l'esclave ayant contribué à la mort du maître par sa négligence. (fr)

Under åren har många olika textversioner tillkommit, men den ursprungliga berättelsen har alltid varit densamma. Sången handlar om en svart slavs klagan över hans herres död. Det finns dock en "subtext" till sången, som tyder på glädje över hans död. Sången har spelats in av Burl Ives. Det finns även en svensk version, "Ponny-Twist". Den spelades in av Klubborkestern med Stallflickorna och utgavs på skivan Wahlströms Ponnyklubb RM 5041 år 1967. (sv)
