It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

Well, I ride on a mail train

Can't buy me no thrill

Well, I've been up all night

Leanin' on the window sill

Well, if I die on top of the hill

If I don't make it, you know my baby will

Don't the moon look good, mama

Goin' down over the trees?

Don't the brakeman look good, mama

Flaggin' down the Double E?

Don't the sun look good

Goin' down over the sea?

Don't my girl look fine

When she's comin' after me?

Now the wintertime is comin'

The windows are all filled up with frost

I tried to tell everybody

But I could not get across

Well, I wanna be your lover, baby

I don't wanna be your boss

Don't say I didn't warned you

When your train gets lost
