Stephen Stills, Al Kooper - It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry lyrics

Well, I ride on a mail train
Can't buy me no thrill
Well, I've been up all night
Leanin' on the windowsill well, if I die
On top of the hill if I don't make it
You know my baby will hit it!

Don't the moon look good, mama
Goin' down over the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Play it now, Stephen

Ah, pick it, Wilson aah-aah, aah-aah-aah
Hit it one more time, now

Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are all filled up with frost
I tried 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 didn't warn you
When your train gets lost

A na na na na, yeah a na na na na, yeah
A na na na na, yeah a na na na na, yeah
