Buckeyed Jim Songtext
von Burl Ives

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
