Hobo's Lullaby<br>

<br>

(Goebel Reeves)<br>

<br>

Do not think about tomorrow,<br>

Let tomorrow come and go.<br>

Tonight you’ve got a nice warm boxcar<br>

Safe from all the rain and snow.<br>

<br>

So go to sleep, you weary hobo,<br>

Let the towns drift slowly by.<br>

Can’t you hear the steel rail hummin’ ?<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

<br>

Oh, I know your clothes are ragged<br>

And your hair is turning grey.<br>

Lift your head and smile at trouble,<br>

You’ll find peace of mind someday.<br>

<br>

So go to sleep, you little hobo,<br>

Let the towns drift slowly by.<br>

Tonight you’ve got a nice warm boxcar,<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

<br>

I know the police cause you trouble,<br>

They cause trouble everywhere.<br>

But when you die and go to Heaven,<br>

There will be no police there.<br>

<br>

So go to sleep, you weary hobo,<br>

Let the towns drift slowly by.<br>

Can you hear the steel rail hummin’ ?<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

<br>

Do not let your heart be troubled<br>

If the world calls you a bum.<br>

‘Cause if your mother lived, she’d love you,<br>

You are still your mother’s son.<br>

<br>

So go to sleep, my weary hobo,<br>

Let the towns drift slowly by.<br>

Can you hear the steel rails hummin’ ?<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

That’s the hobo’s lullaby.<br>

<br>
