The slave doesnt' care about Jimmy cracking corn because the Master is dead. I believe this is an old slave song
Jimmy Crack Corn
(Blue Tail Fly)
When I was young I used to wait
On master and hand him his plate
Pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue-tail fly
Chorus
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care
My master's gone away
When he would ride in the afternoon
I'd follow him with my hickory broom
The pony being rather shy
When bitten by the blue-tail fly
Chorus
One day he rode around the farm
Flies so numerous that they did swarm
One chanced to bite him on the thigh
The devil take the blue-tail fly
Chorus
Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch
He threw my master in the ditch
He died and the jury wondered why
The verdict was the blue-tail fly
Chorus
Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree
His epitaph is there to see
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie
The victim of the blue-tail fly"

Crack Corn refers to drinking corn lwhiskey, and this song was a popular Minstrel song mocking a white "massa" drinking himself to death and the slave's ambivalence over his death and the original title of the song is Blue Tail Fly. By Dan Emmett 1843

I think the song is about the fact that the Master(or Boss) is gone and everyone else is working , so this guy feels if no one is watching him, why work? It demonstrates a poor work ethic really.

Because take that you stupid corn!
The song goes "and I don't care" so maybe the guy who wrote it doesn't care but somebody else does? lol
