Hush-a-bye, my baby, slumbertime is comin' soon Rest yo' head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune The Sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin', While soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody, When I was a little baby sit'on ma Mammy's knee Folks were hummin', their banjos were strummin' So sweet and low. Strummin', strummin', sweet and low. Hush-a-bye, baby Hush-a-bye my baby, go to sleep on Mammy's knee, Rest your head upon my breast in dreams again with me Sandman is callin', Shadows are fallin', Soft breezes sigh as in days gone by. Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody, When I was a little baby sit'on ma Mammy's knee Folks were hummin'; Banjos were strummin' Sweet and low Banjos were strummin' Sweet and Low.
