about

A tune attributed to Nora Bayes & Jack Norworth from way back in 1908. I've done a very simple version here. See your friendly local neighborhood barbershop quartet for a fancier one.

lyrics

Shine On Harvest Moon

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 pined
Little maid was kinda 'fraid of darkness
So she said, "I guess I'll go"
Boy began to sigh, looked up in the sky
Told the moon his little tale of woe

(chorus)
Shine on, shine on harvest moon, 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)
