do do-do-do, do do-do do
do do-do-do, do
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Im keepin my eye peeled on you
Whats the good word tonight?
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Cant you see my little doggie and me
Were as happy as a christmas tree
Headin for the one I love the one I love
Im gonna pop her the question, that question
Do you Darlin, do ya do?
Itll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Im tellin you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin those clouds from sight
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Dont fail me when Im 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?
Itll be easy, so easy
If I can only bank on you
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Im tellin you why, now you know
Keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushin those clouds from sight
Ole buttermilk sky ole buttermilk sky
Dont fail me when Im needin you most
Hang a moon above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
buttermilk sky
You can if you try
Dont tell me no lie
will you be mellow and bright tonight?
Oh, butermilk sky!
