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

Well, I ride on a mail train, baby, can't buy a thrill
Well, I been up all night leanin' on the windowsill
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, honey, shinin' through the trees
Don't the brakemen look good, baby, flaggin' down the "Double-E"
Don't the sun look good doin' down over the sea
But don't my gal look fine when she's chasin' after me

Now, the wintertime 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 want to be your boss
Don't say I never warned you if your train gets lost
