If jimmy cracked corn and he care why did write a song about it?

The song "Jimmy crack corn" is a traditional American folk song. It is not about _Jimmy_ "cracking corn" and worrying. The lyrics are:

> Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care,

> Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care,

> Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care.

The _real_ meaning is unknown. It may be a mocking song, or it may have been used to signal that someone is having an affair.
