Missouri State Song

The Missouri Waltz
Hush-a-bye, my baby, slumber time is comin’ soon;
Rest your head upon my breast while Mommy hums a tune;
The sandman is callin’
Where shadows are fallin’,
While the soft breezes sign as in days long gone by.

‘Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a liitle child on my mommy’s knee;
The old folks were hummin’
Their banjos were strummin’
So sweet and low.

Strum, strum, strum, strum, strum
Seems I hear those banjos playin’ once again.
Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum
That same old plaintive strain.

Hear that mournful melody,
That haunts you the whole day long.
And you wander in dreams back to Dixie it seems
When you hear that old time song.

Hush a-bye my baby, go to sleep on Mommy’s knee,
Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me;
It seems like your Mommy is there once again,
And the old folks were strummin’ that same old refrain.

‘Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby,
When the stars were blinkin’ and the moon was climbin’ high
Seems I hear voices low, as in days long ago
Singin’ hush – a – bye.

Words by James Royce Shannon (1881-1946)
Arranged by Frederic Knight Logan (1871-1928)
