Burl Ives — Buckeye Jim lyrics

Lyrics

Way up yonder above the sky
A bluebird lived in a jaybird’s eye
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go Go weave and spin, you can’t go Buckeye Jim
Way up yonder above the moon
A blue jay nest in a silver spoon
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go Go weave and spin, you can’t go Buckeye Jim
Way down yonder in a wooden trough
An old woman died of the whoopin' cough
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go Go weave and spin, you can’t go Buckeye Jim
Way down yonder in a hollow log
A red bird danced with the green bullfrog
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go Go weave and spin, you can’t go Buckeye Jim
