Jimmy Crack Corn, and I Don't Care
Jimmy is a regional term for a crow. The singer is supposed to keep the crows out of the corn-patch so they can't eat the corn (crack it), but since his master's dead (thanks to the blue-tail fly), the singer doesn't care if the jimmies crack corn or not. He's depressed.

I've never understood "Jimmy crack corn and he don't care."
If Jimmy doesn't care, why in the hell should I care?

Ifyou_please
That's an interesting take on the little nursery rhyme. However, that'd mean that women are the weasel since the monkey (man) chased the weasel (woman). And why would the woman pop? Or is popping a metaphor for something else?

That sounds like a man chasing a woman who's not interested in be chased in such a way.
