Titel:  Hobo's Lullaby
Artist: Goebel Reeves
Album:  Folk And The Roots
Of American Music - Part 1 (2012)
(Goebel Reeves)
Orig. F#

 G                     C
Go to sleep you weary hobo
 D7                        G
Let the towns drift slowly by
                          C
Listen to the steel rail humming
 D7                    G
That's the hobo's lullaby

    G                     C
Now do not think about tomorrow
 D7                   G
Let tomorrow come and go
                              C
Tonight you have a nice warm boxcar
 D7                          G
Safe from all the rain and snow

    G                             C
I know your clothes are torn and ragged
 D7                             G
And your hair is flecked with grey
                              C
Lift your chin and smile at trouble
 D7                              G
You'll have peace and rest some day

    G                          C
Now do not let your heart be troubled
 D7                       G
If the world calls you a bum;
                             C
If your mother lives, she'd love you
 D7                             G
For you're still your mother's son.

    G                         C
I know the police cause you trouble
 D7                      G
They make trouble everywhere
                            C
But when you die and go to heaven
 D7                        G
You'll find no policemen there

      G                     C
And when you die and go to heaven
 D7                           G
All the trains there you can ride
                                  C
The hard boiled brakeman and the hobo
 D7                           G
Sleep there peaceful side by side

   G                      C
So go to sleep you weary hobo
 D7                        G
Let the towns drift slowly by
                          C
Listen to the steel rail humming
 D7                    G
That's the hobo's lullaby
