The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couples sitting underneath the willow tree
For love
They pine
Little May was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she said,
"I guess I'll go."
Boy began to sigh
Looked up at the sky
Told the moon his little tale of woe
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
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
