The Missouri Waltz JR.Shannon & John V. Eppel As recorded by Eddy Arnold
[F]Hush a bye my [C7]baby Slumber [F]time is coming soon Rest your head up[C7]on my breast While [F]mommy hums a tune The [Bb]sandman is callin' where [F]Shadows are fallin' While the [G7]soft breezes sigh As in [C7]days long gone by
[F]Way down in Missouri Where I heard this melody When I was a [C7]little child [F]On my mommy's knees The [Bb]old folks were [Dm]humming Their [F]banjoes were strumming So [G7]sweet [C7]and [F]low
[Dm]Strum strum strum strum strum [Cm]Seems hear those banjoes [A7]playin' once a[Dm]gain Hum hum hum hum hum That same old [A7]plaintive [Dm]strain
[Dm]Hear that [A7]mournful [Dm]melo[A7]dy It just [Dm]haunts you the [A7]whole day [Dm]long And you [Bb]wander in dreams Back to [F]Dixie it seems When you [G7]hear that [C7]old time [F]song
[F]Hush a bye my [C7]baby Go to [F]sleep on mommy's knee Journey back to [C7]Dixieland In [F]dreams again with me It [Bb]seems like your mommy is [F]There once again And the [G7]old folks were strumming That [C7]same old refrain
[F]Way down in Mis[C7]souri Where I [F]learned this lullaby When the stars were [C7]blinkin' And the [F]moon was climbin' high Seems I [Bb]hear voices [Dm]low As in [F]days long ago Singing [G7]hush [C7]a [F]bye
