It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry
IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH, IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY
WRITER BOB DYLAN

Well, I ride on a mail train, baby
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've 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, mama
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went 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
