CHush a bye my G7baby slumber Ctime is coming soon
Rest your head upG7on my breast while Cmommy hums a tune
The Fsandman is calling where Cshadows are falling
While the D7soft breezes sigh as in G7days long gone by
CWay down in G7Missouri Cwhere I heard this melody
When I was a G7little child Con my mommy's knees
The Fold folks were humming their Cbanjos were strumming
So D7sweet  G7and  Clow
Hush a bye my G7baby go to Csleep on mommy's knee
Journey back to G7Dixieland in Cdreams again with me
It Fseems like your mommy is Cthere once again
And the D7old folks were strumming that G7same old refrain
CWay down in G7Missouri Cwhere I learned this lullaby
When the stars were G7blinking and the Cmoon was climbing high
And I Fhear mommy glow as in Cdays long ago
Singing D7hush  G7a   Cbye
