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 some day 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 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 So, 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 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 towns drift slowly by Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'? That's the hobo's lullaby
