Missouri Waltz

(альбом: All Time Favorites - 1956)

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...
