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 pop her the 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 tellin' you why, now you know

Keep it in mind tonight

keep brushin' those clouds from sight Ole buttermilk sky

Don'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitchin' 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? Ole buttermilk sky

Don'cha fail me when I'm needin' you most

Hang a moon above her hitchin' 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?

Will you be mellow and bright tonight

Buttermilk sky?
