Back in the 1800's that was a popular folk song. On the farm they had to "crack" or pick corn. It must have been horribly tedious work.

I don't care - my master's gone away.

Tounge-in -cheek lament spiritual about the death of a slave owner possibly as a result of a head injury when drunk. Lots of variants of the song aka the Blue Tailed Fly.
