I ain't had no loving,
Since Janurary, February,
June or July.
Snow time,
Ain't no time to stay,
Ourdoors and swoon.
Shine on,
Shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
The night was mighty dark
So you could hardly see
A moon refused to shine
Couple sitting underneath a willow tree
For love they pine
Little maid was kind afraid of darkness
So she said I guess I'll go
Boy begins 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.
I ain't had no loving,
Since Janurary, February,
June or July.
Snow time,
Ain't no time to stay,
Outdoors and spoon.
Shine on,
Shine on harvest moon,
For me and my gal.
written in 1903 by Nora Bayes and Jack Norworth.
