The Missouri Waltz

	  		
C             G7           C                     
Hush a bye my baby slumber time is coming soon 
                 G7                 C                   
Rest your head upon my breast while mommy hums a tune 
    F                        C                     
The sandman is calling where shadows are falling 
          D7                      G7                   
While the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by 


C           G7       C                                     
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody 
             G7           C                     
When I was a little child on my mommy's knees 
    F                            C 
The old folks were humming their banjos were strumming 
   D7     G7   C     
So sweet  and  low 

           
              G7         C                       
Hush a bye my baby go to sleep on mommy's knee 
                G7           C                      
Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me 
   F                        C                  
It seems like your mommy is there once again 
        D7                            G7                  
And the old folks were strumming that same old refrain 


C           G7       C                      
Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby 
                    G7               C                        
When the stars were blinking and the moon was climbing high 
      F                     C               
And I hear mommy glow as in days long ago 
        D7    G7  C     
Singing hush  a   bye
