- Part 1:
- Hush -a -bye, ma ba -by,
slum -ber -time is com -in' soon;
- Rest yo' head up -on my
breast while Mom -my hums a tune;
- The sand -man is call -in'
where shad -ows are fall -in',
- While the soft breez -es
sigh as in days long gone by.
- 'Way down in Mis -sou -ri
where I heard this mel -o -dy,
- When I was a lit -tle child
on my Mom -my's knee;
- The old folks were hum -min;
Their ban -jos were strum -min'
- So sweet and low.
-
- Part 2:
- Strum, strum, strum, strum,
strum,
- Seems I hear those ban -jos
play -in' once a -gain,
- Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,
- That same old plain -tive
strain.
- (Interlude, no lyrics)
- (Interlude, no lyrics)
- Hear that mourn -ful mel
-o -dy,
- It just haunts you the whole
day long,
- And you wan -der in dreams
back to Dix -ie, it seems,
- When you hear that old -time
song.
-
- Part 1 (repeat):
- Hush -a -bye, ma ba -by,
go to sleep on Mom -my's knee,
- Jour -ney back to Dix -ie
-land in dreams a -gain with me;
- It seems like your Mom -my
is there once a -gain,
- And the old folks were strum
-min' that same old re -frain.
- 'Way down in Mis -sou -ri
where I learned this lul -la -by,
- When the stars were blink
-in' and the moon was climb -in' high,
- Seems I hear voic -es low,
as in days long a -go
- Sing -in' hush -a -bye.
