Hobo’s Lullaby (1976 Album Version)

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?
That's the hobo's lullaby

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

So go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?
That's a hobo's lullaby

Now 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

Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?
That's the hobo's lullaby

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywherе
But when you die and go to Heavеn
You know you'll find no policemen there

Now don't you let your heart be troubled
If the world calls you a bum
'Cause if your mother lives, she loves you
Well, you're still your mother's son

So go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'?
That's a hobo's lullaby

That's a hobo's lullaby
