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

I tried a mailtrain, mama, can't buy a thrill
I've been up all night, mama
Leanin' on the window sill
If I die on top of the hill
If I don't make it, 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 fine
Setting down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine when
She's running after me?

Wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody
But I could not get across
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
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
