Shine On Harvest MoonLyrics by Jack Norworth, 1908Melody by Nora Bayes-Norworth, 1908 Sequencing by Don Ferguson 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 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. Chorus: Oh, shine on, shine on harvest moon up in the sky. I ain't had no lovin' since January, February, June 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. 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, why should I be telling you this secret When I know that you can guess," Haverst moon will smile, shine on all the while, If the little girl should answer yes. Chorus: |
