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 'bout tomorrow
Let tomorrows come and go
Tonight you've got a nice, warm boxcar
Free from all the wind and snow

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

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

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

Can't you hear the rails a singin', ohh
That's the hobo's lullaby
