The state song of Missouri, The Show-Me State.
Lyrics in English:
Hush-a-bye, ma baby, slumber time is comin’ soon;
Rest your head upon my breast, while mommy hums this tune;
The shadows are fallin’, the sandman is callin’,
And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by.
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a little baby on my mommy’s knee;
The old folks were hummin’, their banjos were strummin’
So sweet and low.
Hush-a-bye, ma baby, slumber time is comin’ soon;
Rest your head upon my breast, while mommy hums this tune;
The shadows are fallin’, the sandman is callin’,
And the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by.
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody,
When I was a little baby on my mommy’s knee;
The old folks were hummin’, their banjos were strummin’
So sweet and low.
