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
