I went strolling in the evening underneath the harvest moon

I was thinking about you

Then we met out in the moonlight the stars we shining in your eyes

But another was there too

I don't believe you've met my baby he looked at me he looked at you

You wondered who I was talking to

I shook the hand of your stranger but I was shaking more inside

I was still wondering who

His arms were resting on my shoulders he smiled at you he smiled at me

His eyes were filled with victory

[ el.banjo - steel ]

He said my sister was to marry then it was oh so plain to see

I knew that you would marry me

I don't believe you've met my baby hmm hmm I knew that you would marry me
