Ole buttermilk sky

I'ma keepin' 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 oh so easy

If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky

I'ma tellin' you why now you know

Keep it in mind tonight

Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky

Don'tcha fail me when I'm needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitchin' post

Hitch me to the one I love

I'm gonna pop her the question that question

Do you darling do you do

It'll be easy oh so easy

If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky

I'ma tellin' you why now you know

Keep it in mind tonight

Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky

Don'tcha fail me when I'm needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitchin' post

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

Ole buttermilk sky
