Story behind the song
Written by Goebel Reeves, performed by David Rovics.
Lyrics
chorus) Go to sleep, you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Can't you hear the steel rails humming That's the hobo's lullaby Don't you worry 'bout tomorrow Let tomorrow come and go Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar Safe from all that wind and snow (chorus) I know your clothes are torn and tattered And your hair is turning gray Rest your head in weary slumber You'll find peace and rest someday (chorus) I know the police give you trouble They make trouble everywhere But when you die you'll go to heaven There ain't no policemen there (chorus)
