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 donky 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 telling you why now you know
keep it in mind tonight keep brushing those clouds from sight
ole buttermilk sky you don't 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
[ guitar ]
ole buttermilk sky you don't fail me...
will you be mellow and bright tonight buttermilk sky
