Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Hush a bye my baby
Slumber time is coming soon
Rest your head upon my breast
While mommie hums a tune.

The sandman is calling
When shadows are falling
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 feller
On my mommie's knee.

The old folks were humming
the banjos were strumming
So sweet and low.

--- Instrumental ---

Hush a bye my baby
Go to sleep on mommie's knee
Journey back to Dixie Land
In dreams again with me.

It seems like your mommie
Was there once again
And the old folks were strumming
That same old refrain.

Way down in Missour
Where I learned this lullaby
When the stars were blinking
And the moon was standing high.

And I hear mommie clove
As in days long ago
Singing hush a bye
Singing hush a bye...
Hush a bye my baby   Slumber time is coming soon   Rest your head upon my breast   While mommie hums a tune.      The sandman is calling   When shadows are falling   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 feller   On my mommie's knee.      The old folks were humming   the banjos were strumming   So sweet and low.      --- Instrumental ---      Hush a bye my baby   Go to sleep on mommie's knee   Journey back to Dixie Land   In dreams again with me.      It seems like your mommie   Was there once again   And the old folks were strumming   That same old refrain.      Way down in Missour   Where I learned this lullaby   When the stars were blinking   And the moon was standing high.      And I hear mommie clove   As in days long ago   Singing hush a bye   Singing hush a bye...
