Ole buttermilk sky, I'm keeping my eye peeled on you What's the good word tonight Are you you gonna be mellow to night Ole buttermilk sky, can't you see my little donkey and me We're as happy as a Christmas tree Heading for the one I love Bridge I'm gonna pop 'er the question, that question "Do you, Darlin', 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 a-brushing those clouds from sight Ole buttermilk sky, don't you fail me when I'm needin' you the most Hang a moon above her hitching 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, buttermilk sky
