HARVEST MOON
From the album "Matter Over Mind"
Written by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth, 1908
The night was getting dark
So you could hardly see
The moon refused to shine
There's a couple sitting
Beneath the willow tree
For love they pine
The girl was getting just a bit
Afraid of the darkness
So she said, "I think I'll go."
The boy began to sigh
He looked up in the sky
And told the moon his tale of woe
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky
I ain't had no loving since
January, February, June and July
Snow time ain't no time
To sit outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me and my gal
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
Up in the sky
I ain't had no loving since
January, February, June and July
Snow time ain't no time
To sit outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me and my gal
Shine on, shine on harvest moon
For me and my gal
