{Intro}
(yodel)
{Verse 1}
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin’
That’s the hobo’s lullaby
{Verse 2}
Now do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you have a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the rain and snow
{Verse 3}
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is streaked with gray
Lift your chin and smile at trouble
You’ll have peace and rest someday
{Verse 4}
Now do not let your heart be troubled
If the world calls you a bum
If your mother lived, she’d love you
For you’re still your mother’s son
{Verse 5}
I know the police cause you trouble
They make trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You’ll find no policemen there
{Verse 6}
And when you die and go to heaven
All the trains there you can ride
The hard-boiled brakeman and the hobo
Sleep there peaceful side by side
{Verse 7}
So go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin’
That’s the hobo lullaby
{Outro}
