Subject: RE: Buckeyed Jim: Oddest lullaby I've heard From: Crowhugger Date: 20 Oct 10 - 10:37 AM "Buckeyed Jim" was one of my absolute favourite songs as a child, probably for the syncopated feel as much as the words. My mother sang the chorus with a 3-beat measure in place of a 4-beat one for the phrase "you can't go." Is that how others know it? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Buckeye Jim - other odd lullabies From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 23 Nov 21 - 07:38 AM I am probably stating the obvious. The buckeye is a tree that grows profusely in the central United States. It gets its name from a non-edible , hard, dark brow shell about the size of a hazelnut with a light brown round patch at its apex. i.e. it resembles the eye of a deer. People from the state of Ohio are often referred to as "buckeyes", A term they take as a compliment. Their football team is referred to as Buckeyes. A local confection is also called a "buckeye." A round ball of peanut butter is sweetened with confectioner's sugar. Then chilled, with a temporary toothpick inserted so it may be dipped and coasted in melted chocolate with a circle of light brown peanut butter showing. It resembles the seed. A mellon baller scoop is the right size. Sincerely, Gargoyle just in time for the holidays. |
