The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see

For the moon refused to shine

Couple sitting underneath the willow tree

For love

They pined

Little may was kinda 'fraid of darkness

So she says I guess I'll go

Boy began to sigh

Looked up to the sky

Told the sky his little tale of woe

So shine on

Shine on harvest moon

Up in the sky

I ain't had no lovin' since January

February

June or July

Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon

So shine on

Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal

Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon

So shine on

Shine on harvest moon for me and my gal
