Hobo's Lullaby Lyrics - Rainbow Race - Pete Seeger

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 

Don't you worry about tomorrow 

Let tomorrow come and go 

Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar 

Safe from all the wind and snow 

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 

I know your clothes are torn and ragged 

And your hair is turning gray 

Lift your head and smile at trouble 

You'll find peace and rest some day
