Missouri Waltz Songtext
von The Fontane Sisters

Hush-a-bye, my baby, slumbertime is comin′ soon
Rest yo' head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune
The Sandman is callin′ where shadows are fallin',
While soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by

Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a little baby sit'on ma Mammy′s knee
Folks were hummin′, their banjos were strummin'
So sweet and low.

Strummin′, strummin', sweet and low.


Hush-a-bye, baby
Hush-a-bye my baby, go to sleep on Mammy′s knee,
Rest your head upon my breast in dreams again with me
Sandman is callin', Shadows are fallin′,
Soft breezes sigh as in days gone by.

Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a little baby sit'on ma Mammy's knee
Folks were hummin′; Banjos were strummin′
Sweet and low

Banjos were strummin'
Sweet and Low.
