As recorded by:

Studio Band Possibly Dir. Stan Greening
Recorded October 1926



When the sun sinks on Missouri
When evening shadows fall
It seems in all my loneliness
That I can hear you call

When it’s twilight on Missouri
Then I think of you
Though I know our love is ended
I’m forever true
All my years of sadness
Turn to dreams of gladness
When it’s twilight on Missouri
Then I think of you

In days of old we were happy
You said our love would live
Though we’re apart
I pray, sweetheart
Someday you will forgive

When it’s twilight on Missouri
Then I think of you
Though I know our love is ended
I’m forever true
All my years of sadness
Turn to dreams of gladness
When it’s twilight on Missouri
Then I think of you

(Music & whistling break)

All my years of sadness
Turn to dreams of gladness
When it’s twilight on Missouri
Then I think of you
