Lyrics:

(Chorus:)

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.

(Repeat Chorus)

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.

(Repeat Chorus)

Can't you hear the rails a-singin', ooh?
That's the hobo's lullaby.
