Hobo's Lullaby

Lyrics

Go to sleep, you weary hobo
 Let the towns drift slowly by
 Can't you hear the steel rails humming
 That's the hobo's lullaby
 Don't you worry about tomorrow
 Let tomorrow come and go
 Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
 Safe from all the wind and snow
 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
 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 some day
 So go to sleep, you weary hobo
 Let the towns drift slowly by
 Can't you hear the steel rails humming
 That's the hobo's lullaby
