Hobo’s Lullaby

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye to Main Street Goodbye, company town And who can say how far away This wayward train is bound? [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Goodbye, goodbye to State Street Goodbye, Capitol Grounds And who can say how far away This wayward train is bound? [Outro] Oh, 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
