Shine On Harvest Moon
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-why
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 want to 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-I've 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...
