Hobo's Lullaby
(Goebel Reeves / Arr.: Ko-Do 2007)



Geh in die Gruft, da kannst guat schlafen
Da hast a paar Stund lang dei Ruah
Weul von de ganzen bleeden Affen
Hast du tagsüber längst scho gnua

Vergiß a Nacht lang nur was Suang san
Des fallt da schnö gnua wieder ei
Und wann net heut, spätestens muang dann
Da wird ois wieder 's Sölbe sei

De Kieberer, was di überall stampern
De Leut, was immer nur bled schaun
Manchmal tätst di am liabstn hamdrahn
Oder alle in de Pappn haun

Dei Gwandl g'hearat längst scho gwaschn
Amoi gscheit duschn, des war schee
Und statt'n Tetrapack a Flaschn
A Haaße und a Packl Spee

Geh in die Gruft, da kannst guat schlafen
Da hast a paar Stund lang dei Ruah
Weul von de ganzen bleeden Affen
Hast du tagsüber eh scho gnua
 
Go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's a hobo's lullaby

Do not think about tomorrow
Let tomorrow come and go
Tonight you're in a nice warm boxcar
Safe from all the wind and snow

I know the police cause you trouble
They cause trouble everywhere
But when you die and go to heaven
You won't find no policemen there

I know your clothes are torn and ragged
And your hair is turning grey
Just lift your head and smile at trouble
You'll find happiness some day

So go to sleep you weary hobo
Let the towns drift slowly by
Can't you hear the steel rail humming
That's a hobo's lullaby
