Missouri Waltz

Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon Rest your head on mommie’s breast while daddy hums a tune Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody When I was a little fellow 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 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 strumming that same old refrain Way down in Missouri when I heard this lullaby While the stars were blinking and the moon was shining high Are the old folks were humming the banjos were strumming so sweet and low
