Hobo's Lullaby Lyrics - Joe Henry

Go to sleep you weary hobo 

Let the towns drift slowly by 

Can't you hear the steel rails humming? 

That's the hobo's lullaby. 

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. 

Don't you worry about tomorrow 

Let tomorrow come and go 

Tonight you're in a nice warm box car 

Safe from all that wind and snow. 

I know the police cause you trouble 

They cause trouble everywhere 

But when you die and go to heaven 

You'll find no policemen there
