I need the title, or writer, or publisher (maybe the source of: movie, musical, cartoon) of a song which contains the words

Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon, Won't you please shine down on me? Oh Mister Moon, moon, hiding behind the tree, I want to shoot that 'possum with my old (?) shotgun. I want to shoot that 'possum 'fore he starts to run. Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon, Won't you please shine down on me?

It's needed for a planetarium show. Respond directly via email or here.

Many thanks, Charles Toth [e-mail]

Raffi sings a children's song "Mr. Sun" that was adapted from the song you're looking for, "Mr. Moon". Sorry, that's all I know is the name of the title, but that may make the search a little easier for you!

My mother always sang a song to us that she said came from one of her classmates in a middle school talent show:

Oh mister moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
won't you please shine down on me?
Oh mister moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
won't you come out from behind that tree?
Oh, my life's in danger but I'm scared to run,
there's a man behind me with a big shotgun,
Oh mister moon, moon, bright and shiny moon,
won't you please shine down on me?
