Hobo's Lullaby
Anaïs Mitchell

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


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?
