Missouri Waltz
"Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time
is comin' soon
rest your head upon my breast while
Mammy hums a tune
the sandman is callin' where shadows
are fallin'
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 boy upon my
Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin'
the banjo was strummin'
so sweet and low!
Strum,
strum, strum, strum strum!
Seems I hear those banjos playin' once
again
Hmmm, hmmm,
hmmm!
That same old plaintive phrase!
Way down in
Missouri, where I heard this melody
when I was a
little boy upon my Mammy's knee
the old-folks were hummin'
their
banjos were strummin'
so sweet and low!
