Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Lift your head and smile at trouble
You'll find happiness someday

So, go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Don't you worry about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the wind and snow

So, go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

So, go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby
