G

G                     Am
Go to sleep you weary hobo.
C                           G
Let the trains drift slowly by.
D                               Am
Don't you hear the steel rail humming?
D                   G
That's a hobo's lullaby.

G                               Am
I know, your clothes are torn and ragged.
C                        G
And your hair is turning grey.
D                            Am
Lift your head and smile at trouble.
D                             G
You'll find peace and rest someday.

G                    Am
Do not think about tomorrow.
C                     G
Let tomorrow come and go.
D                           Am
Tonight your in a nice warm boxcar.
D                        G
Safe from all the wind and snow.

   G                       Am
So, go to sleep you weary hobo.
C                          G
Let the towns drift slowly by.
D                               Am
Don't you feel the steel rail humming?

C                 G
That's a hobo's lullaby...
C                  G
That's, a hobo's lullaby
