The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see,
For the moon refused to shine.
Couple sitting underneath a willow tree,
For love they did pine.
Little maid was kind-a 'fraid of darkness, so
She said, "I guess I'll go."
Boy began to sigh, looked up at the sky,
And told the moon his little tale of woe.
Oh, 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 at home and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal.
Oh, 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 at home and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal.
Oh, 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 at home and spoon,
So shine on, shine on harvest moon, for me and my gal.
