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
