Lyrics:

  • 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 Heaven
  • You'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
