(goebel reeves)
Do not think about tomorrow,
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you've got a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the rain and snow
So go to sleep, you weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail hummin' ?
That's the hobo's lullaby
Oh, I know your clothes are ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Lift your head and smile at trouble,
You'll find peace of mind someday
So go to sleep, you little hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by
Tonight you've got a nice warm boxcar,
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 will be no police there
So go to sleep, you weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can you hear the steel rail hummin' ?
That's the hobo's lullaby
Do not let your heart be troubled
If the world calls you a bum
¡®cause if your mother lived, she'd love you,
You are still your mother's son
So go to sleep, my weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can you hear the steel rails hummin' ?
That's the hobo's lullaby
That's the hobo's lullaby
That's the hobo's lullaby
