Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Hobo, ho, ho, hobo...

Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you've got a nice warm boxcar
Free from all the ice and snow

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You find no police there

Go to sleep, you weary hobo
Let the town drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails humming
That's the hobo's lullaby

Hobo, ho, ho, hobo...
