Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody
When I was just a little baby on my mama’s knees
The old folks were hummin’, the banjos were strummin’ so sweet and lowHush a bye my baby go to sleep on mama’s knee
Journey back to these old hills in dreams again with me
It seems like your mother was there once again
And the old folks were strummin’ that same old refrainWay down in Missouri where I heard this lullaby
When the stars were blinkin’ and the moon was shining high
And I hear mama callin’ as in days long ago
Singin’ hush a byeThis movie had the most beautiful opening.
