Shine On, Harvest Moon (Edison Cylinder, 1910)

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
Oh, Shine on, shine on, harvest moon
Up in the sky
I ain't had no lovin'
Since April, January, Ju-u-une or July
S'no time, ain't no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon
For me and my gal

Y'know honey, I just love you
I don't call that lovin', keeping me out here in the dark, I's afraid
Well you better embrace these golden opportunities
'Cause the atmosphere will soon be very chilly
I never thought of that
Oh please mister moon, come out and shine!
'Cause you know that,
S'no time, ain't no time to stay
Outdoors and spoon
So shine on, shine on, harvest moon
For me and my gal!
