Missouri Waltz

Hush a bye my baby

Slumber time is comin' soon

Rest your head on mommie's breast

While daddy hums a tune

Oh, the old folks were hummin'

Banjos were strummin'

And the soft breezes sigh

As in days long gone by

Oh, way down in Missouri

Where I heard this melody

When I was a little feller

On my mommie's knee

The old folks were hummin'

Banjos were strummin'

So sweet and low

Hush a bye my baby

Go to sleep on daddy's knee

Journey back to Dixie Land

In dreams again with me

Oh, it seems like your daddy

Was there once again

And the old folks were hummin'

That same old refrain

Oh, way down in Missour

When I heard this lullaby

While the stars were blinkin'

And the moon was shinin' high

Oh, the old folks were hummin'

The banjos were strummin'

So sweet and low
