 (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!)
