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

Bob Dylan


G
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby. Can't buy a  thrill
Well, I've been up all night, leanin' on the window sill
GG7CD7
Well, if I die on top of the hill
G
And if I don't make it, you know my baby  will

G
Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"?
GG7CD7
Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea?
G
Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?

G
Now the wintertime is coming. The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody, but I could not get across
GG7CD7
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby. I don't wanna be your boss
G
Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
