-3 3* -3 -2 3 -2*
Hush a-bye ma ba-by
3 3* -3 3* -3 3 -2
Slum-ber time is com-in’ soon
-3 3* -3 -2 3 -2* 3
Rest yo’ head up-on my breast
3* -3 3* -3 3 -2
While mam-my hums a tune
2 -1 -2 3 -2 -1
The sand-man is call-in’
1* 1 -2 3 -2 1
Where sha-dows are fall-in’
-2 -2* 3 -2* 3 -1
While the soft breez-es sigh
2 -2 3 -2* 3 4
As in days long gone by
-3 3* -3 -2 3 -2*
Way down in Mis-sou-ri
3 3* -3 3* -3 3 -2
Where I heard this mel-o-dy
-3 3*-3 -2 3 -2* 3 3*
When I was a hap-py young-ster
-3 3* -3 3 -2
On ma mam-my’s knee
2 -1 -2 3 -2 -1
The young folks were hum-min’
1* 1 -2 3 -2 1
Their ban-joes were strum-min’
1 1* -1 -3 -2
So sweet and low
-3 -6 -5 -5 -3
Strum strum strum strum strum
-3* -3* 3 3 -3 -3*
Seems I hear those ban-jos
-3 3* -3 -2 -1
Play-in’ once a-gain
-3 -6 -5 -5 -3
Hum hum hum hum hum
-1 2 -2 -2 2 2 -1
That same old plain-tive strain
-3 -3 4* 4* -3 -3 4*
Hear that mourn-ful mel-o-dy
-2 3 -3 -5 -5 4 -4 4 -5
It just haunts you the whole day long
-2 2 -1 -2 2 -1
And you wan-der in dreams
-1 1* 1 -2 3 -2
Back to Dix-ie it seems
1 1* -1 -1 -3 -3 -2
When you hear that old time song
