Ole buttermilk sky   I'm keeping my eye peeled on you   What's the good word tonight   Are you gonna be mellow tonight?      Ole buttermilk sky   Can't you see my little donkey and me?   We're as happy as a Christmas tree   Headed for the one I love      I'm gonna pop her the question, that question   Do you, darling do you, do?   It'll be easy, so easy   If I can only bank on you      Ole buttermilk sky   I'm tellin' you why, now you know   Keep it in mind tonight   keep brushin' those clouds from sight      Ole buttermilk sky   Don'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most   Hang a moon above her hitchin' post   And hitch me to the one I love      You can, if you try, don't tell me no lie   Will you be mellow and bright tonight   Buttermilk sky?      Ole buttermilk sky   Don'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most   Hang a moon above her hitchin' post   And hitch me to the one I love      You can, if you try, don't tell me no lie   Will you be mellow and bright tonight   Buttermilk sky?   Will you be mellow and bright tonight   Buttermilk sky?
