Hobo's Lullaby

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the town drift slowly by

Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

That's the hobo's lullaby

I know your clothes are torn and ragged

And your hair's a-turnin' grey

But lift your head and smile at trouble

You'll find peace and rest someday

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the town drift slowly by

Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

That's the hobo's lullaby

Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow

Let tomorrow come and go

Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar

Safe from all the wind and snow

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the town drift slowly by

Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

That's the hobo's lullaby

I know the police cause you trouble

They cause trouble everywhere

But when you die and go to heaven

There'll be no policemen there

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the town drift slowly by

Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

That's the hobo's lullaby

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the town drift slowly by

Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?

That's the hobo's lullaby
