Capo I *

G5 C5  2x

G5                     C5
Go to sleep you weary hobo
D5                          G5
Let the towns drift slowly by
G5                             C5
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
D5                    G5
That's a hobo's lullaby

G5                    C5
Do not think about tomorrow
D5                     G5
Let tomorrow come and go
  G5                           C5
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
D5                          G5
Safe from all the wind and snow

G5                           C5
I know the police cause you trouble
D5                       G5
They cause trouble everywhere
G5                          C5
But when you die and go to heaven
D5                           G5
You won't find no policemen there

G5                                C5
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
D5                        G5
And your hair is turning grey
G5                           C5
Lift your head and smile at trouble
D5                          G5
You'll find happiness some day

G5                        C5
So go to sleep you weary hobo
D5                          G5
Let the towns drift slowly by
G5                             C5
Don't you feel the steel rail humming
D5                    G5
That's a hobo's lullaby
