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

Well, I ride on a mail train, baby

Can't buy a thrill

I been up all night, baby

Leanin' on the windowsill

If I die on top of the hill

And if I don't make it

You know my baby will

Don't the moon look good, mama

Shining down through the tree?

Don't the brakeman look good, mama

Flaggin' down the "Double E?"

Don't the sun look good

Goin' down over the sea?

But don't my gal look fine

When she's comin' after me?

Wintertime is coming

The windows are filled with frost

I went 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 never warned you

If your train gets lost
