DOLLY:
I went strolling in the evening
Underneath the harvest moon
I was thinkin' about you

PORTER:
Then we met out in the moonlight
The stars were shining in your eyes
But another was there too

BOTH: I don't believe you've met my baby
PORTER: He looked at me, he looked at you
DOLLY: You wondered who I was talkin' to

PORTER:
I shook the hand of your stranger
But I was shaking more inside
I was still wondering who

DOLLY:
His arm was resting on my shoulder
He smiled at you, he smiled at me
PORTER:
His eyes were filled with victory

(Instrumental Break)

PORTER:
He said my sister wants to marry
Then it was all so plain to see
I knew that you would marry me

BOTH:
I don't believe you've met my baby
Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm, hmmm-hmmm
I knew that you would marry me
