OLE BUTTERMILK SKY
By Hoagy Carmichael and Jack Brooks ©1946
From the film:  Canyon Passage

Ole buttermilk sky,
I'm a-keepin' my eye peeled on you.
What's the good word tonight?
Are you gonna be mellow tonight?

Ole buttermilk sky,
Can't you see my little donkey and me?
We're as happy as a Christmas tree,
Headin' for the one I love.

|: I'm gonna pop 'er the question, that question,
Do you, darlin', do you do?
It'll be easy, so easy,
If I can only bank on you,

Ole buttermilk sky,
I'm a-tellin' you why. Now you know.
Keep it in mind tonight.
Keep a-brushin' those clouds from sight.

Ole buttermilk sky,
Don't you fail me when I'm needin' 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?
