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-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...
