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
That my donkey and me,
We're as happy as a Christmas tree,
Heading for the one I love.
I'm gonna pop'er the question,
That question,
Do ya darlin' do ya 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 me
When I'm needing you most.
Hang the 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.
You can if you try.
Ole buttermilk sky.
