The Missouri Waltz

C             G7           C
Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon

                 G7                 C
Rest your head upon my breast while mommy hums a tune

    F                        C
The sandman is calling where shadows are falling

          D7                      G7
While the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by


C           G7       C
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody

             G7           C
When I was a little child on my mommy's knees

    F                            C
The old folks were humming their banjos were strumming

   D7     G7   C
So sweet  and  low


              G7         C
Hush a bye my baby go to sleep on mommy's knee

                G7           C
Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me

   F                        C
It seems like your mommy is there once again

        D7                            G7
And the old folks were strumming that same old refrain


C           G7       C
Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby

                    G7               C
When the stars were blinking and the moon was climbing high

      F                     C
And I hear mommy glow as in days long ago

        D7    G7  C
Singing hush  a   bye
