[Verse]
Ole buttermilk sky
I'm keeping my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight
Are you going to 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 going to 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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
You can, if you try, don't tell me no lie
Will you be mellow and bright tonight
Buttermilk sky?
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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?
