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
