"Sugar Moon" is a Western swing love song written by Bob Wills and Cindy Walker. The title comes from a refrain in the chorus:
- When it's sugarcane time,
- Long around about June,
- I'll be walkin' with sugar
- 'Neath that old sugar moon.
First recorded by Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys in 1947 (Columbia 37313), it reached #1 staying on the charts six weeks.[1]
It has been covered by Willie Nelson, k.d. lang (1988), Asleep at the Wheel, and other artists.
The 1958 Pat Boone song "Sugar Moon" is a different song by songwriter Danny Wolfe.
