Snow time ain't no time to stay outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on harvest moon for my 'n' my gal

The night was mighty dark so you could hardly see
For the moon refused to shine
Couples sitting underneath a willow tree
For love they pine
The 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

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 sit outdoors and spoon
Shine on, shine on harvest moon for me 'n' my gal

Oh shine on, shine on harvest moon way up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin' since April, January, 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
