Thank you.
All right.
And now
We don't know it.
Wasn't she in one of our shows about a year, year and a half ago?
You said, yeah, huh.
I sometimes forget her face, but I never forget her dress.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Or someone who's just gotten out of one.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
As you can tell, nothing really is sacred for us up here.
We all go to church every Sunday.
Of course, our church only has six commandments.
Well, it has ten, but it's six real commandments, and four do the best you can.
Yeah.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[E]
[G] [A] Well
Nick [N] Reynolds will now sing a song, which I am sure that he'll have you singing along.
Great song.
You're going to tell him what it is?
You know what it is, don't you?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Sure.
I know this looks like show business and all the glitter and excitement,
but back in this dressing room, it's all glitter and excitement.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, [A] ha.
[Bm] [A] [D]
[N] This next song, I learned from Freddie Hellerman of the Weavers.
And I lived, for the last 20 years, I lived up on a ranch in Oregon, raising cattle and kids.
And not necessarily in that order.
But people would say, boy, it must have been really neat.
You'd grab your guitar out of the closet and sit around the fire up there where it's raining 60 inches a year.
Sing some songs to your kids, and I'll bet you all sang along.
No way.
I'd bring my guitar out, and they'd say, Dad, don't embarrass me.
Square old songs.
We want to watch MTV.
We didn't have any TV.
Oh!
Anyway, this one song I sang to them.
All the kids were born right at home on the ranch, midwife and my wife and I.
And occasionally the doctor would show up, but he was always too drunk to do anything.
I sang this song for the kids before they got old enough to tell me to shut up.
So I'd like to dedicate it to all my children.
And I love them dearly, and I'll sing them tomorrow.
And about halfway through the song, I'd like to have you sing along with me, if you would.
[D]
Go to sleep, you weary [G] hobo.
[A] Watch the towns go drifting [D] by.
Can't you hear the whales [G] a-singing the
[A] hobo's [D] lullaby?
Don't you worry [G] about tomorrow.
[A] Let tomorrow's come [D] and go.
Tonight you've got a nice [G] warm fox car.
[Em]
[A] Free from all the wind [D] and snow.
Try it.
Go to sleep, you weary hobo.
Go to sleep, you weary [G] hobo.
Watch the towns go drifting by.
[A] Watch the towns go drifting [D] by.

Can't you hear the [G] rails a-singing?
That's the hobo's lullaby.
[A] That's the hobo's [D] lullaby.
Boy, you're great.

[A] [Em] [A]
[D] Right?
I know the police [G] cause you trouble.
[A] They cause trouble [D] everywhere.
But when you [D] die and go [G] to heaven,
[Em]
[A] There'll be no policeman [D] there.
Go to sleep, you little hobo.
Go to sleep, you little [G] hobo.
Watch the towns go drifting by.
