OLE BUTTERMILK SKY 1946
OLE BUTTERMILK SKY,
I’M KEEPIN’ MY EYE PEELED ON YOU.
WHAT’S THE GOOD WORD TONIGHT?
ARE YOU GONNA BE MELLOW OR BRIGHT?
OLE BUTTERMILK SKY,
CAN’T YOU SEE MY LITTLE DONKEY AND ME?
WE’RE AS HAPPY AS A CHRISTMAS TREE
HEADED FOR THE ONE I LOVE.
I’M GONNA POP HER THE QUESTION,
THAT QUESTION:
“DO YOU DARLING DO YOU DO?”
IT’LL BE EASY, SO EASY,
IF I CAN ONLY BANK ON YOU.
OLE BUTTERMILK SKY,
I’M TELLING YOU WHY, NOW YOU KNOW.
KEEP IT IN MIND TONIGHT.
KEEP A-BRUSHIN’
THOSE CLOUDS FROM SIGHT.
OLE BUTTERMILK SKY,
DON’TCHA FAIL ME
WHEN I’M NEEDING YOU MOST.
HANG A MOON ABOVE HER HITCHIN’ 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 OLE BUTTERMILK SKY?
