A lovely song. These are the words on the Woody Guthrie website;
HOBO'S LULLABY
Words and Music by Goebel ReevesGo to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo's lullabyI 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 somedayNow 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 snowI know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You'll find no policemen thereSo go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's a hobo's lullaby
