Missouri Waltz "Hush-a-bye m'baby, slumber time is comin' soon rest your head upon my breast while Mammy hums a tune the sandman is callin' where shadows are fallin' while the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by!" Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee the old-folks were hummin' the banjo was strummin' so sweet and low! Strum, strum, strum, strum strum! Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm! That same old plaintive phrase! Way down in Missouri, where I heard this melody when I was a little boy upon my Mammy's knee the old-folks were hummin' their banjos were strummin' so sweet and low! Music by Frederick Knight Logan and lyrics by James Royce Shannon 1916 With Chorus and Orchestra Conducted by Henri René Produced by Charles Grean and J. Burgess Recorded at RCA Victor Studio 2, New York City Recorded December 14, 1948 |
