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
