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
