Hush a bye my baby Slumber time is comin' soon Rest your head on mommie's breast While daddy hums a tune Oh, the old folks were hummin' Banjos were strummin' And the soft breezes sigh As in days long gone by Oh, way down in Missouri Where I heard this melody When I was a little feller On my mommie's knee The old folks were hummin' Banjos were strummin' So sweet and low Hush a bye my baby Go to sleep on daddy's knee Journey back to Dixie Land In dreams again with me Oh, it seems like your daddy Was there once again And the old folks were hummin' That same old refrain Oh, way down in Missour When I heard this lullaby While the stars were blinkin' And the moon was shinin' high Oh, the old folks were hummin' The banjos were strummin' So sweet and low
