Go to sleep, you weary hobo,
G7 C
Let the town drift slowly by.
C C7 F
Listen to those steel rails humming
G7 C
That's a hobo's lullaby

Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho

C F
Do not think about tomorrow,
G7 C
Let tomorrow come and go,
C C7 F
Tonight you've got a nice warm box car,
G7 C
Safe from all this wind and snow.
C F
I know the police cause you trouble,
G7 C
They cause you trouble everywhere.
C C7 F
But when you die and go to heaven
G7 C
You'll find no policeman there.
C F
So go to sleep, you weary hobo,
G7 C
Let the towns drift slowly by.
C C7 F
Listen to the steel rails humming
G7 C
That's a hobo's lullaby.

Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ho-Ho-Ho

Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho-Ho
C C7 F
Ho Ho-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho, Ho Ho-Ho Ho-Ho-Ho
