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 ask him 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 telling you why now you know

Keep it in mind tonight keep

Brushing those clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky don't you fail

When I'm needing you most

Hang a moon above her hitching post

And hitch me to the one I love

Now you can if you try don't tell me no lie

Will you be mellow and bright tonight buttermilk sky

I'm gonna ask him question

That question do you love me do you do

It'll be easy so easy if I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky

Ole buttermilk sky

I'm telling you why now you know

Keep it in mind tonight keep

Brushing clouds from sight

Ole buttermilk sky don't you fail

When I'm needing you most

Hang a moon above her hitching post

And hitch me to the one I love

Will you be mellow and bright tonight buttermilk sky

Buttermilk sky
