when I know that you can guess -- "Ziegfeld Follies" 1908

Speranza 1908 o 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. 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 did 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, and told the moon his little tale of woe 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, I can't see why I'm telling you this secret, when I know that you can guess." harvest moon will smile, shine on all the while, if the little girl should answer "yes."
