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 |
