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.

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
I knew that you would marry me...
