Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
I'm keepin' my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight?
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?
[Verse 2]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
Can't you see my little doggie and me?
We're as happy as a Christmas tree
Headin' for the one I love (The one I love)
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you, darlin', do you do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
[Verse 4]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight
[Verse 5]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
Don't you fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love (Buttermilk sky)
[Verse 6]
Gonna pop her the question, the question
Darlin', do you do?
It'll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
[Verse 7]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
I'm tellin' you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight
[Verse 8]
Ole buttermilk sky (Ole buttermilk sky)
Don't you fail me when I'm needin' you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love (Buttermilk sky)
[Verse 9]
You can if you try
Don't tell me no lie
Will you be mellow and bright tonight?
Ole buttermilk sky
