way up yonder above in the sky

a blue bird lived in a jaybirds eye

buckeye jim you can't go

go weave and spin you can't go

buckeye jim

way up yonder above in the moon

a blue jay bird rests in a silver spoon

Buckeye Jim, can't go

go weave or spin

Can't go, Buckeye Jim

way down yonder in a wooden trough

an old woman died of a whooping cough

Buckeye Jim, can't go

go weave or spin

Can't go, Buckeye Jim

way down yonder in a hollow log

a red bird danced with a green bull frog

Buckeye Jim, can't go

go weave or spin

Can't go, Buckeye Jim
