Burl Ives - Buckeye Jim lyrics

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.
