Way up yonder above the moon
A blue jay nest in a silver spoon

Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim, Buckeye Jim

Way up yonder above the sky
A blue jay nest in a green bird's eye

Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim, Buckeye Jim

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

Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim, Buckeye Jim

But in paradise, the white bird sings
Touch your face with tender wings
Buckeye Jim, you'll go
Go weave and spin, you'll go
Buckeye Jim, Buckeye Jim
Buckeye Jim
