[Lyric] Hobos Lullaby (Goebel Reeves)

[Intro]
(yodel)

[Verse 1]
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo's lullaby

[Verse 2]
Now do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you have a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the rain and snow

[Verse 3]
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is streaked with gray
Lift your chin and smile at trouble
You'll have peace and rest someday
[Verse 4]
Now do not let your heart be troubled
If the world calls you a bum
If your mother lived, she'd love you
For you're still your mother's son

[Verse 5]
I know the police cause you trouble
They make trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to Heaven
You'll find no policemen there

[Verse 6]
And when you die and go to heaven
All the trains there you can ride
The hard-boiled brakeman and the hobo
Sleep there peaceful side by side

[Verse 7]
So go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Listen to the steel rails hummin'
That's the hobo lullaby

[Outro]
