The Missouri Waltz

JR.Shannon & John V. Eppel

[F]Hush a bye my [C7]baby

Slumber [F]time is coming soon

Rest your head up[C7]on my breast

While [F]mommy hums a tune

The [Bb]sandman is callin' where

[F]Shadows are fallin'

While the [G7]soft breezes sigh

As in [C7]days long gone by

[F]Way down in Missouri

Where I heard this melody

When I was a [C7]little child

[F]On my mommy's knees

The [Bb]old folks were [Dm]humming

Their [F]banjoes were strumming

So [G7]sweet [C7]and [F]low

[Dm]Strum strum strum strum strum

[Cm]Seems hear those banjoes

[A7]playin' once a[Dm]gain

Hum hum hum hum hum

That same old [A7]plaintive [Dm]strain

[Dm]Hear that [A7]mournful [Dm]melo[A7]dy

It just [Dm]haunts you the [A7]whole day [Dm]long

And you [Bb]wander in dreams

Back to [F]Dixie it seems

When you [G7]hear that [C7]old time [F]song

[F]Hush a bye my [C7]baby

Go to [F]sleep on mommy's knee

Journey back to [C7]Dixieland

In [F]dreams again with me

It [Bb]seems like your mommy is

[F]There once again

And the [G7]old folks were strumming

That [C7]same old refrain

[F]Way down in Mis[C7]souri

Where I [F]learned this lullaby

When the stars were [C7]blinkin'

And the [F]moon was climbin' high

Seems I [Bb]hear voices [Dm]low

As in [F]days long ago

Singing [G7]hush [C7]a [F]bye
