This song is about a green bullfrog struggling with thoughts of depression brought upon by the racial discrimination he faces in his local pond.

Buckeye Jim Lyrics

[Intro]
A red bird danced with a green bullfrog
Well that's what this song says and it's called Buckeye Jim

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus 2]
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

[Chorus 3]
Way down yonder in a wooden trough
An old woman died of a whoopin' cough
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim

[Chorus 4]
Way down yonder in a hollow log
A red bird danced with the green bullfrog
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim
