David Rovics Hobo's Lullaby Lyrics

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

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

(chorus)

I know your clothes are torn and tattered And your hair is turning gray
Rest your head in weary slumber
You'll find peace and rest someday

(chorus)

I know the police give you trouble
They make trouble everywhere
But when you die you'll go to heaven
There ain't no policemen there

(chorus)
