It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, 

Can't buy a thrill. 

Well, I've been up all night, 

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 

Going down over the sea? 

But don't my gal look fine 

When she's comin' after me?

Well, 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 wanted you 

When your train gets lost.
