(do do-do-do, do do-do do)
(do do-do-do, do)

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?

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)

I`m gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you Darlin`, do ya do?
It`ll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (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 (ole buttermilk sky)
Don`t fail me when I`m needin` you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
(buttermilk sky)

------ orchestral interlude ------

(gonna pop her the question, the question
Darlin`, do you do?
It`ll be easy, so easy)
If I can only bank on you

Ole buttermilk sky (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 (ole buttermilk sky)
Don`t fail me when I`m needin` you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
(buttermilk sky)

You can if you try
Don`t tell me no lie
(will you be mellow and bright tonight?
Oh, butermilk sky!)
