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

Well, i ride on a mailtrain, baby

Can't buy a thrill

Well, i've been up all night

Leanin' on the window sill

Well, 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

Shinin' through the trees ?

Don't the brakeman look good, mama

Flagging down the "double e" ?

Don't the sun look good

Going down over the sea ?

But don't my gal look fine

When she's comin' after me ?

Well, the 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 wanted you

When your train gets lost
