>>>"Hoboes' Lullaby" is loosely based on an old tune called "Arthur Clyde"

But "Hobo's Lullaby" was written by Goebel Reeves, not by Woody Guthrie, so it has nothing to do with what's being discussed here.

But since the tune has come up, at https://musicfromthedepression.com/hobos-lullaby/ it says,

>>>He set it to the civil war tune “After the Battle Mother”.

At that site there is also a recording of Reeves singing the song.
