MISSOURI WALTZ
  


 C               G              C 
 Hush a bye, my baby, slumber time is coming soon,
 C                 G                    C             C7
 Rest your head on mommy’s breast while daddy hums a tune.
          F                       C 
 All the old folks were humming, banjos were strumming,
         D            D7         G              G7 
 And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by.
 
CHORUS:
  C              G              C 
 Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
 C              G            C             C7
 When I was a little fellow on my mommy's knees.
     F                         C
 The old folks were humming, banjos were strumming,
       D7 G7  C      G
 So sweet and low.

 C               G             C 
 Hush a bye, my baby, go to sleep on daddy's knee,
  C              G             C                C7
 Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me.
         F                          C 
 Oh, it seems like your daddy was there once again,
         D              D7           G             G7 
 And the old folks were humming that same old refrain.

 CHORUS:
 C              G            C 
 Way down in Missouri when I heard this lullaby,
    C                   G               C                C7
 While the stars were blinking and the moon was shining high.
          F                               C
 All the old folks were humming, their banjos were strumming,
       D7 G7  C
 So sweet and low.
