Missouri Waltz Lyrics

Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon Rest your head upon my breast while mommie hums a tune The sandman is calling when shadows are falling While the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody When I was a little feller on my mommie's knee The old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so sweet and low Hush a bye my baby go to sleep on mommie's knee Journey back to Dixie Land in dreams again with me It seems like your mommie was there once again And the old folks were strumming that same old refrain Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby When the stars were blinking and the moon was standing high And I hear mommie clove as in days long ago singing hush a bye singing hush a bye
