text: Hey, go to sleep you weary hobo
  Hey, let the towns go drifting by
  Hey, cant you hear the steel rail humming?
  Well, thats a hobos lullaby
  I know your clothes are torn and ragged
  Hey, and your hair is turning gray
  Hey, lift your head and smile at trouble
  Hey, youll find peace and rest some day
  Now go to sleep you weary hobo
  Hey, let the towns drift slowly by
  Hey, cant you hear the steel rail humming?
  Hey, thats a hobos lullaby
  My, dont you worry about tomorrow
  Just let tomorrow come and go
  Cause tonight youre in a nice warm boxcar
  Hey, safe from all that wind and snow
  Now go to sleep you weary hobo
  Hey, let the towns drift slowly by
  Hey, cant you hear the steel rail humming?
  Hey, thats a hobos lullaby
  Hey, I know police they cause you trouble
  Hey, they cause trouble everywhere
  But when you die and go to heaven
  Youll find no policemen there
  So go to sleep you weary hobo
  Hey, let the towns drift slowly by
  Hey, cant you hear the steel rail humming?
  Hey, thats a hobos lullaby
  Hey, now go to sleep you weary hobo
  Hey, let the towns drift slowly by
  Cant you hear the steel rail humming?
  Well, thats a hobos lullaby
