Missouri Waltz Lyrics - Perry Como

"Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time is comin' soon 

rest your head upon my breast while Mammy 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 a little boy upon my Mammy's knee 

the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin' 

so sweet and low! 

Strum, strum, strum, strum strum! 

Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again 

Hmmm, hum, hmmm! 

That same old plaintive phrase! 

Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody 

when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee 

the old-folks were hummin' and the banjos were strummin' 

so sweet and low!
