A7  Em7   A7    D  G/B D      Em7    A7  D   G         D
Ole buttermilk sky,      I'm keeping my eye peeled on you

What's the good word tonight

Are you you gonna be mellow to night
Em7 A7       A7   D  G/B D           Em7    A7     D   G      D
Ole buttermilk sky,      can't you see my little donkey and me

Heading  for  the one I love

[Bridge]
          D7M     D7   G       A7     D7
I'm gonna pop 'er the question,  that question
G      G/F#      Em7 G/B  D  D7M  D7
"Do you, Darlin', do  you do?"
D7/F#    G    Em7    D  B7
It'll be easy,    so easy
   E7         Bm       A7
If I can only bank on you

[Chorus]

Keep  it in mind tonight

Keep a-brushing those clouds from sight
Em7 A7      A7   D  G/B D           Em7    A7       D        G       D
Ole buttermilk sky,     don't you fail me when I'm needin' you the most
A4        A7  A4          Em7      G/B   A7
Hang a moon above her hitching post

Will you be mellow and bright to - night, buttermilk sky
