Grateful Dead - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry Lyrics

Artist: Grateful Dead

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Bob Dylan

I drive a mail train, 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
I don't make it
You know my baby will

Don't the moon look good
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E"?

Don't the sun look fine
Setting down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine?
She's runnin' after me

Wintertime is coming
Windows are filled with frost
I tried to tell everybody
Could not get across

I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say warned you
When your train gets lost

Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost
