CGo to sleep you weary Fhobo
GLet the towns drift slowly Cby
CCan't you hear the steel rails Fhummin'?

But Clift your head and smile at Ftrouble

CDon't you worry about toFmorrow
GLet tomorrow come and Cgo
CTonight you're in a nice warm boxFcar

But I Cknow the police cause you Ftrouble
GThey cause trouble everyCwhere
But when you Cdie and go to Fheaven

So, Cgo to sleep you weary Fhobo
