Burl Ives - Buckeye Jim lyrics

Burl Ives - Buckeye Jim

Way up yonder above the sky,

A bluebird lived and a jaybird died.

Chorus: Buck-eyed Jim, you can't go

Go weave and spin, you can't go

Buck-eyed Jim

Way up yonder above the moon,

A bluejay nested in a silver spoon.

Chorus.

Way down yonder in a wooden trough

An old woman died of the whoopin' cough.

Chorus.

Way down yonder in a hollar log,

A redbird danced with a green bullfrog.

Chorus.
