Ole buttermilk sky
I'm 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?â€Â
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 me when I'm needing you most
Hang a moon above her hitching 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
