Chorus:

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the time drift slowly by

Can’t you hear the steel rails hummin’

That’s the hobo’s lullaby

Well do not think about tomorrow

And let tomorrow come and go

Tonight you’ve got a nice warm boxcar

To protect you from the rain and snow

Chorus:

Go to sleep you weary hobo…

I know your clothes are torn and ragged

And your hair is turning gray

Lift up your chin and look towards heaven

Where you’ll find love and peace some day

Chorus:

Go to sleep you weary hobo…

I know the police cause you trouble

They cause trouble all the time

But when you die and go to heaven

Well there’ll be no policemen there

Chorus:

Go to sleep you weary hobo…

That’s the hobo’s lullaby
