In March 2016 Billy Bragg and Joe Henry, guitars in hand, boarded a Los Angeles-bound train at Chicago’s Union Station looking to reconnect with the culture of American railroad travel and the music it inspired. Winding along 2,728 miles of track over four days, the pair recorded classic railroad songs in waiting rooms and at trackside while the train paused to pick up passengers. Taken from the album “Shine A Light: Field Recordings From The Great American Railroad” by Billy Bragg & Joe Henry, out now!

Lyrics: Go to sleep you weary hobo Let the towns drift slowly by Can't you hear the steel rails humming? That's the hobo's lullaby.

I know your clothes are torn and ragged And your hair is turning grey But lift your head and smile at trouble You'll find peace and rest someday.

Don't you worry about tomorrow Let tomorrow come and go Tonight you're in a nice warm box car Safe from all that wind and snow.

I know the police cause you trouble They cause trouble everywhere But when you die and go to heaven You'll find no policemen there
