Hi, Sol - I'm after the original version of "Moon River," but my Johnny Mercer book is upstairs, and I came across this wonderful site first. It has a first-class MIDI for the full tune of "Harvest Moon." the same MIDI is available here (click).

The lyrics, however, are the same as what you'll find in the Digital Tradition, complete with "April."

This is exactly what I find in Johnny Mercer: The Life, Times and Song Lyrics of Our Huckleberry Friend (Bob Back & Mabel Mercer, 1982), and another resource, Reading Lyrics

Moon River
(lyrics by Johnny Mercer, music by Henry Mancini, 1961)

Moon River,
Wider than a mile:
I'm crossin' you in style
Some day.
Old dream maker,
You heart breaker,
Wherever you're goin',
I'm goin' your way

Two drifters,
Off to see the world,
There's such a lot of world
To see
We're after the same
Rainbow's end
Waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend,
Moon River
And me

Looks the same as what I'm familiar with. Nothing between bend and huckleberry friend - how would it fit the meter?
