[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Way up yonder above the moon
A jaybird nests in a silver spoon
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go
Go weave and spin, you can’t go
Buckeye Jim

[Verse 3]
Way down yonder in a hollow log
A red bird danced with a green bullfrog
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go
Go weave and spin, you can’t go
Buckeye Jim

[Chorus]
They'll be an end to grief and pain
A warm bright sky beyond the rain
You don't have wings so you can't fly
But you can dream it if you try
[Verse 4]
Way up yonder in the quiet night
A blackbird sang in the pink moonlight
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go
Go weave and spin, you can’t go
Buckeye Jim

[Verse 5]
Way up yonder above the sky
A bluebird nests in a jaybird's eye
Buckeye Jim, you can’t go
Go weave and spin, you can’t go
Buckeye Jim

[Chorus]
They'll be an end to grief and pain
A warm bright sky beyond the rain
You don't have wings so you can't fly
But you can dream it if you try

[Outro]
Buckeye Jim
Buckeye Jim
Buckeye Jim
