Slim Dusty Missouri Waltz Lyrics:
Hush-a-bye, ma 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 the so
! 2;t breezes sigh as in days long gone by.
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a Pickaninny on ma Mammy's knee;
The darkies were hummin'; their banjos wer! 01; strummin'&! #59;
So sweet and low.
[Banjo strumming]
Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again,
[Banjo struming]

That same old plaintive strain.
Way down in Missouri where I hea! ;rd this melody,
When I was a Pickaninny on ma Mammy's knee;
The darkies were hummin'; their banjos were strummin';
So sweet and low.
[Instrumental]
Way down in Missouri whe ! 4;e I heard t! ;h& #105;s melody,
When I was a Pickaninny on ma Mammy's knee;
The darkies were hummin'; their banjos were strummin';
So sweet and low.
