Paroles de Hobo's Lullabye

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
