Hobo's Lullaby

Hobo's Lullaby - Ranblin' Jack Elliott

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the towns drift slowly by

Listen to the steel rail humming

That's a hobo's lullaby

I know the police cause you trouble

They cause trouble everywhere

But when you die and go to heaven

There you find no policemen there

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the towns drift slowly by

Listen to the steel rail humming

That's a hobo's lullaby

Do not think about tomorrow

Let tomorrow come and go

Now you got a nice warm boxcar

Safe from all the wind and snow

Go to sleep you weary hobo

Let the towns drift slowly by

Listen to the steel rail humming

That's a hobo's lullaby
