Harvest Moon

Waves of corn rustling in a cool summer wind
Leaves driftin’ to cover the blackest dirt
Winter comes to spread her white blanket of snow
All of this was our little heaven on earth


Now this here is a picture of your great grand dad
It was harvest time and they hauled a mighty big load
that smile that he’s wearing there is the same smile I’d see
On my Daddy’s face at the time of a harvest moon


Chorus
Oh hey diddle diddle, hey diddle diddle
Hey diddle diddle and the cat and the fiddle
Shadows danced beneath our feet
And the putter of the tractor engines
Farmers whistlin tune
Echoed in the night of the harvest moon

Now this here is a picture of my brothers on the ford
This one here, still loves to work the land
There’s momma and my sisters on that bale of hay
And there’s me, oh it seems like yesterday

Chorus

Now there’s something that’s magical about this old photograph
Some can see it, some don’t have a clue
That soft light shining is a message from the moon
Take care of the land and she’ll take care of you

Chorus

Tat a rat a tat tat, oh that's where he's at
Tap tappin his toes with the alley cats
Tat a rat a tat tat , oh that's where he's at
all tuckered out he's gotta take a nap

Oh Hey diddle, Hey diddle diddle, Hey diddle and the cat and fiddle
Echoed in the night of the Harvest Moon
