Burl Ives — Buckeye Jim
‘Way down yonder in a hollow log
A jaybird danced with an ol’ bullfrog.
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 jaybird lived in a silver spoon.
Way down yonder in a wooden trough
An old woman died of the whoopin’ cough.
Way up yonder above the sky
A jaybird spit in a bluebird’s eye.
