Let the towns drift slowly by They cause trouble everywhere You won't find no policemen there Can't you hear the steel rail humming I know the police cause you trouble That's a hobo's lullaby You'll find happiness some day Don't you feel the steel rail humming But when you die and go to heaven I know your clothes are torn and ragged Let tomorrow come and go Do not think about tomorrow Let the towns drift slowly by Go to sleep you weary hobo And your hair is turning grey Publisher: SANGA MUSIC INC That's a hobo's lullaby Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar Lift your head and smile at trouble Safe from all the wind and snow So go to sleep you weary hobo Songwriter: Goebel Reeves
