C                       F  
Go to sleep you weary hobo 

G7                         C 
Let the towns drift slowly by 

C                             F 
Can't you hear the steel rail humming 

G7              C 
That's a hobo's lullaby 



C                   F 
Do not think about tomorrow 

G7                    C 
Let tomorrow come and go 

C                             F 
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar 

G7                         C 
Safe from all the wind and snow 



C                       F  
Go to sleep you weary hobo 

G7                         C 
Let the towns drift slowly by 

C                             F 
Can't you hear the steel rail humming 

G7              C 
That's a hobo's lullaby 



C                                F 
I know your clothes are torn and ragged 

G7                       C 
And your hair is turning grey 

C                           F 
Lift your head and smile at trouble 

G7                        C 
You'll find happiness someday 



C                       F  
Go to sleep you weary hobo 

G7                         C 
Let the towns drift slowly by 

C                             F 
Can't you hear the steel rail humming 

G7              C 
That's a hobo's lullaby
