Missouri Waltz from Anywhere road by Orlando

Hush-a-bye, my baby, slumbertime 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 sigh as in days long gone by.

Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody
When I was just a little baby on my mommy’s knee ;
And the old folks where hummin’, the banjos were strummin’
So sweet and low.

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 dady is there once again,
And the old folks where hummin’ that same old refrain.

Way down in Missouri where I heard this lullaby,
When the stars were blinkin’ and the moon was shinin’ high,
And I hear mamma Cloe, as in days long ago,
Singin’ hush-a-bye.
