Shine on, Harvest Moon

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 kinda '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 April, January, Ju-u-une 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
(Second verse)
I can't see why a boy should sigh when by his side
Is the girl he loves so true
All he has to say is: "Won't you be my bride
For I love you?
I can't see why I'm telling you this secret
When I know that you can guess."
Harvest moon will smile
Shine on all the while
If the little girl should answer "yes."
