A tune from the Great Depression Era, as preformed by Woodie Guthrie
Go to sleep, you weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by.
Listen to those steel rails hummin ?
That s a hobo s lullaby
Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ho-Ho-Ho
Ho Ha-Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho
Ho Ha-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ha-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho
Don t you worry bout tomorrow,
Let tomorrow come and go;
Tonight you re in a nice warm box car,
Safe from all the wind and snow.
I know the breakman cause you trouble;
They cause you trouble everywhere.
But when you die and go to heaven
You ll find no breakman there.
So go to sleep, you weary hobo,
Let the towns drift slowly by.
Listen to the steel rails humminnnnn ....
That s a hobo s lullaby.
Those steel rails humminnnnn ....
That s a hobo s lullaby.
Yes, That s the hobo s lullaby.
