Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's a hobo's lullaby
[Verse 2]
Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you've got a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all this wind and snow
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
