Oh buttermilk sky
I'm keeping my eye peeled on you
What's the good word tonight
Are you gonna be mellow tonight
Oh buttermilk sky
Can't you see my little donkey and me
We're as happy as a christmas tree
Heading for the one I love
Gonna pop the question that question
Do you darling do you do
It'll be easy so easy if I can only bank on you
Oh buttermilk sky
I'm telling you why
Now you know keep it in mind tonight
Keep a brushing those clouds from sight
Oh buttermilk sky
Don't you fail me when I'm needing you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
I'm gonna pop it the question that question
Do you darling do you do
It'll be easy so easy if I can only bank on you
Oh buttermilk sky
I'm telling you why
Now you know keep it in mind tonight
Keep a brushing those clouds from sight
Oh buttermilk sky
Don't you fail me when I'm needing you most
Hang a 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
Oh buttermilk sky
