Levon Helm - It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry lyrics

I ride a mail train, baby I can't buy a thrill And I've been up from all night, baby Leanin' on my window sill Well, now if I die On top of the hill I might not make it far You know my baby will Oh, don't the moon look good, girl Shinin' down through the trees? And don't that old brakeman look good, girl Flagging down the "Double E"? And don't the sun look good Goin' down over the sea? And don't my baby look so fine When she's comin' after me? The wintertime is coming now The windows are filled right up with frost So I went out to tell everybody But I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover I don't wanna be your boss Don't you say I never warned you When your train gets lost And don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost
