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

Well, I been up all night baby, 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 shinin' through the trees

And don't the brakeman look good baby, flaggin' down the double E

Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea

But don't my man look fine when he's comin' after me

Now the winter time is comin', 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
