Hobo's Lullaby - Leadbelly

Hey, go to sleep you weary hobo

Hey, let the towns go drifting by Hey, can’t you hear the steel rail humming?

Well, that’s a hobo’s lullaby

I know your clothes are torn and ragged

Hey, and your hair is turning gray

Hey, lift your head and smile at trouble

Hey, you’ll find peace and rest some day

Now go to sleep you weary hobo

Hey, let the towns drift slowly by Hey, can’t you hear the steel rail humming?

Hey, that’s a hobo’s lullaby

My, don’t you worry about tomorrow

Just let tomorrow come and go

'Cause tonight you’re in a nice warm boxcar

Hey, safe from all that wind and snow

Now go to sleep you weary hobo

Hey, let the towns drift slowly by Hey, can’t you hear the steel rail humming?

Hey, that’s a hobo’s lullaby

Hey, I know police they cause you trouble

Hey, 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

Hey, let the towns drift slowly by Hey, can’t you hear the steel rail humming?

Hey, that’s a hobo’s lullaby

Hey, now go to sleep you weary hobo

Hey, let the towns drift slowly by Can’t you hear the steel rail humming?

Well, that’s a hobo’s lullaby
