MISSOURI WALTZ 1914 |
HUSH-A- BYE MY BABY,
SLUMBER TIME IS COMING SOON.
REST YOUR HEAD UPON MY BREAST
WHILE MOMMY HUMS A TUNE.
THE SANDMAN IS CALLING,
WHERE 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 CHILD
UPON MY MOMMY’S KNEE.
THE OLD FOLKS WERE HUMMING,
THEIR BANJOS WERE STRUMMING,
SO SWEET AND LOW.
