| 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… |
