A tune from the Great Depression Era, as preformed by Woodie Guthrie
D G
Go to sleep, you weary hobo,
A7 D
Let the towns drift slowly by.
D D7 Em
Listen to those steel rails hummin'?
A7 D
That's a hobo's lullaby
D G
Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ho-Ho-Ho
A7 D
Ho Ha-Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho
D D7 Em
Ho Ha-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ha-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho
D G
Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow,
A7 D
Let tomorrow come and go;
D D7 Em
Tonight you're in a nice warm box car,
A7 D
Safe from all the wind and snow.
D G
I know the breakman cause you trouble;
A7 D
They cause you trouble everywhere.
D D7 Em
But when you die and go to heaven
A7 D
You'll find no breakman there.
D G
So go to sleep, you weary hobo,
A7 D
Let the towns drift slowly by.
D D7 Em
Listen to the steel rails humminnnnn'....
A7 D
That's a hobo's lullaby.
D D7 Em
Those steel rails humminnnnn'....
A7 D
That's a hobo's lullaby.
A7 D
Yes, That's the hobo's lullaby.
