  6. State Song • Missouri WaltzWritten by James Royce ShannonMusic by John Valentine Eppel as arranged by Frederick Knight Logan • Hush-a-bye, ma baby, slumber time is comin' soon;Rest yo' head upon my breast, while mommy 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 child on my mommy's knee;The old folks were hummin', their banjos were strummin'So sweet and low. • Strum, strum, strum, strum, strum,Seems I hear those banjos playin' once again,Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,That same old plaintive strain.Hum, hum, hum, hum, hum,That same old plaintive strain. • Hear that mournful melody,It just haunts you the whole day long,And you wander in dreams, back to Dixie, it seems,When you hear that old song. • Hush a-bye, my baby, go to sleep on Mommy's knee,Journey back to Dixieland in dreams again with me;It seems like your Mommy is there again,And the old folks were strummin' that old refrain. • Way down in Missouri where I learned this lullaby,When the stars were blinkin' and the moon was climbin' high,Seems I hear voices low, as in days long agoSingin' hush a-bye.

  7. State Landmarks • Fort Osage • Fort Osage (also known as Fort Clark or Fort Sibley) was part of the United States factorytrading post system for the Osage Nation in the early 19th century near Sibley, Missouri. • The Osage in exchange for access to the trading post above the Missouri River in 1808 in the Treaty of Fort Clark ceded all of their lands east of the fort in Louisiana Territory effectively leaving them with a small band of territory on the extreme western border of Missouri. • The fort ceased operations in the 1820s as the Osage in subsequent treaties ceded the rest of their land in Missouri. A replica of the fort was rebuilt on the site in the 1950s.
