|
Go to sleep you weary hobo |
|
Let the towns 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 is turning gray |
|
Lift your head and smile at trouble |
|
You'll find peace and rest someday |
|
Now don't you worry 'bout tomorrow |
|
Let tomorrow come and go |
|
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar |
|
Safe from all that wind and snow |
|
I know the police cause you trouble |
|
They cause trouble everywhere |
|
But when you die and go to |
|
HeavenYou'll find no policemen there |
|
So go to sleep you weary hobo |
|
Let the towns drift slowly by |
|
Listen to the steel rails hummin' |
|
That's a hobo's lullaby |
