Hobo’s Lullaby Lyrics by Billy Bragg

2016

[Intro]

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
But, lift your head and smile at trouble
You'll find peace and rest someday

[Verse 2]
Don't you worry about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all that wind and snow

[Verse 3]
Well I know the police caused you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You'll find no policeman there

[Chorus]
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
Can't you hear the steel rails hummin?
That's a hobo's lullaby
