last night.
We were a mind to hang you.
Lucy.
You see how thin
the margin is.
Did you know about this?
Yes.
In some other kind of country,
he might have made the grade.
There's not much left,
is there?
Not much.
Well, Logan, now you haven't got any
store, but you've got lots of time.
I guess I'll have to make that
trip to San Francisco after all.
See if I can rustle up
some credit.
Want some company?
If you can keep up
on that mule.
I'll see you.
When are you leaving?
In the morning.
Logan,
would you mind having
a woman on your hands?
Oh, buttermilk sky
Can't you see
my little donkey and me?
We're as happy
as a Christmas tree
Heading 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
Oh, buttermilk sky
I'm telling you why
Now you know,
keep it in mind tonight
Keep brushing those clouds
from sight
Oh, buttermilk sky
Don't you fail me
when I'm needing you most
Hang a moon
above her hitching post
Hitch me to the one I love
