|
The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see |
|
For the moon refused to shine |
|
Couple sittin' underneath the willow tree |
|
For love they'd pine |
|
Little maid 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-y |
|
I ain't had no lovin' since |
|
January, February, |
|
June or July |
|
Snowtime ain't no ti-ime to stay outdoors and spoon |
|
So shine on, shine on harve-e-est moon |
|
Don't make-a me wait too lo-ong |
|
My love for you is much too strong |
|
I ain't had no, |
|
I ain't had no lovin' since |
|
January, February, |
|
June or July |
|
When all the skies are grey |
|
I wanna go inside and stay |
|
So light up, oh light up |
|
Fast or slow come past that door, and |
|
Shi-i-i-ine on harvest moon |
|
Gi-ive some love again |
|
I ain't had none since a- |
|
Lord knows when |
|
No time, ain't no time to stay outside a-and try to spoon |
|
So shine on, shine on harvest moon |
|
For me, for me and my gal |
|
Pass that light, fair and kind |
|
How much lo-ove will be mine |
|
Harvest moon, come on, come on, come o-o-on... |
|
Shi-ine... |
