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, 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, mama, shining 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?
Don't my gal look fine when she's coming after me?

Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I want 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 when your train gets lost
