Eddy Arnold - Missouri Waltz lyrics

rate me

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

[ guitar ]

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
