Hobo's Lullabye Songtext

von Pete Seeger

Go to sleep you weary hobo,
Let the towns trip slowly by
Can't you hear the steel-rail's humming?
That's the hobo's lullaby

I know your cloth's are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey -
Lift your head and smile at trouble -
You'll find peace and rest some day

Go to sleep you weary hobo,
Let the towns trip slowly by
Can't you hear the steel-rail's humming?
That's the hobo's lullaby

Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go -
Tonight you're in a nice warm box-car
Saved from all the wind and snow.

Go to sleep you weary hobo,
Let the towns trip slowly by
Can't you hear the steel-rail's humming?
That's the hobo's lullaby

I know the Police cause you trouble -
They cause trouble everywhere -
But - when you die and go to heaven,
There'll be no policemen there.

Go to sleep you weary hobo,
Let the towns trip slowly by
Can't you hear the steel-rail's humming?
That's the hobo's lullaby
