It was a type of whiskey. Jimmy (the slave) cracked open a bottle of the master's corn whiskey and didn't care because the master went away (he died, fell of the horse)
The lyrics to "Jimmy Crack Corn" 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, My master's gone away."

I think the song you mean is "Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care." I think it's a folk song.
It's a song -- it's "JIMMY cracked corn, and I don't care." It is a nonsense line about a guy named Jimmy -- he cracked some corn (broke open the kernels to make grits or bread or something) and you don't care that he did.
I have never found an official answer to this but my own speculation has lead me to believe that "Cracking corn" is probably a euphemism for flatulence. (Imagine the sound of grinding rock hard dried corn kernels)
because1. jimmy is on crack2. jimmy does not want to give up crackMotivational AnswerJimmy has a little thing called "perserverance." Someday, somewhere, someone will notice our little winner Jimmy and when that day comes, oh, how Jimmy will shine! It is the nature of Jimmys to crack corn.------------------------Who says nobody cares? According to the song, I (the singer) don't care. Paula cares, because when Jimmy runs out, she sells him more. Fred cares, because he is waiting to sweep the cracking room. Suzie cares because she plans to make a cracked corn cassarole.------------------------And, of course, as the lyric states, "The master's gone away..."
I guess he was bored. but that doesn't make very much sence.........
