Hobo's Lullaby |
O go to sleep you weary hobo |
Lay back, lay back and close your eyes |
I know you’ve seen a lot of sorrow |
I know you’ve heard a lot of lies |
They said, «work hard and save your money» |
You were a worker all your life |
And in the end who got the honey |
But the hand that robbed the hive? |
It’s a hard bargain they drive |
Goodbye, goodbye to main street |
Goodbye, company town |
And who can say how far away |
This wayward train is bound |
And though the hounds come round your doorway |
And though the viper’s at your heel |
Well you can dream your rags to riches |
On a stitch of gleaming steel |
On a shining reel-to-reel |
Goodbye, goodbye to state street |
Goodbye, capitol grounds |
And who can say how far away |
This wayward train is bound? |
O go to sleep you weary hobo |
Lay back, lay back and close your eyes |
I know you’ve seen a lot of sorrow |
I know you’ve heard a lot of lies |
