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
