IT TAKES A LOT TO LAUGH, IT TAKES A TRAIN TO CRY
Bob Dylan


Well I ride on a mailtrain baby, can't buy a thrill
Well I been up all night baby leanin' on the window sill

If I die on top of the hill
or if I don't make it, you know my baby will

Don't the moon look good shining through the trees
Don't the breakmen look good ma, flaggin' down the 'Double-E'

Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea
but don't my gal look fine when she's coming after me

Well the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody but I could not get across

Well I wanna be your lover babe, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost 

I've just been to the baggage car where the bags been tossed
I snap out forty compasses, sure don't know what they cost

I wanna be your lover babe, I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
