Hobo's Lullaby (Woody Guthrie cover) 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
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 about 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 humming
That's a hobo's lullaby
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby
And your hair is turning gray
Lift your head and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest someday
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all that wind and snow
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You'll find no policemen there
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails humming
That's a hobo's lullaby
