| Song | It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry |
| Artist | Chris Smither |
| Album | Time Stands Still |
| 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 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? | |
| Now 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 warned you | |
| When your train gets lost |
| 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 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? | |
| Now 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 warned you | |
| When your train gets lost |
