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

(album: Chinese Work Songs - 2000)

Well, I ride on a mail train baby
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I been up all night, baby
Leaning 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
Shining through the trees
And don't the brakeman look good, baby
Flagging down the double "e"
Don't the sun look good
Going down over the sea
But, don't my man look fine
When he's coming after me

Now the winter time is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But, I could not get across
Well, I want to be your lover, baby
I don't to be your boss
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
