"Missouri Waltz" lyrics - PERRY COMO

"Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time is comin' soon
Rest your head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune
The sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin'
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 boy upon my Mammy's knee
The old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
So sweet and low!

Strum, strum, strum, strum strum!

Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again
Hmmm, hum, hmmm!
That same old plaintive phrase!

Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody
When I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee
The old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin'
So sweet and low!
