Missouri Waltz Lyrics (J. R. Shannon)
Hush-a-bye my baby, slumber time is comin' soon
Rest your head on Mammy's breast, while Daddy hums a tune
All the old folks were hummin', banjos were strummin'
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 Mammy'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 knees
Journey back to Dixieland, in dreams, again with me
Ah, it's seems like your Daddy was there once again
And the old folks were hummin' that same old refrain
Oh, way down in Missouri, when I heard this lullaby
While the stars were blinking and the moon was shining high
All the old folks were hummin', the banjos were strummin'
So sweet and low
