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
Leaning 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
Going down over 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?
Don't my girl look fine
When she's coming after me?

Now the wintertime is coming
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
