Go to sleep, you weary hobo Watch the towns go drifting by
Can't you hear the rails a singin' That's the hobo's lullaby
Don't you worry about tomorrow Let tomorrows come and go
Tonight you've got a nice, warm boxcar, free from all the wind and snow
Go to sleep, you weary hobo Watch the towns go drifting by
Can't you hear the rails a singin' That's the hobo's lullaby
I know the police cause you trouble They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven, there'll be no policemen there
Go to sleep, you weary hobo Watch the towns go drifting by
Can't you hear the rails a singin' That's the hobo's lullaby
Can't you hear the rails a singin', ooh That's the hobo's lullaby
