about

Guthrie's lullaby gave the hobos comfort at the end of a long day. This update gives comfort to the silliness of what is asked of modern hobos and reminds people they may not be far off themselves.

lyrics

Go to sleep you weary hobo
With your blanket of news
Tonight you've found yourself a corner
Of this city to drink away your blues

Do not think about tomorrow
I'm sure someone will give you change
The rest will tell you to get a job
That reminds them they can have it their way

But we don't like to think about these hobos
We think we're high and dry
But when your job gets shipped to China
You could use a hobo's lullaby

So go to sleep you potential hobos
With your blanket of news
Tonight you've found yourself a corner
Of this city to drink away your blues
