It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry - Live at the Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI - July 1965

Lyrics

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby
 Can't buy a thrill
 Well, I've been up all night, baby
 Leanin' on the windowsill
 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 ghost look good, baby
 Bein' where he wants to be
 Don't the sun look good
 Goin' down over the sea?
 Don't my gal look fine
 When she's comin' after me?
 ♪
 Well, I just been to the baggage car
 Where the engineer's been tossed
 I stomped out 40 compasses
 God knows what they cost
 Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
 I don't wanna be your boss
 I can't help it, if this dream gets lost
