I can just about hear the last two lines...pretty sure it's by Dylan.

Edit: for my sanity's sake, I had to Google it but won't post the results.

Yes, it is Dylan. "It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry". Great Song. Your turn.

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby,
Can't buy a thrill.
Well, I've been up all night, baby,
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
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.

I also knew It Takes a train... from the Super Session Album (Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills)

I could never find a chance to choose
Between a way to win or a thing to loose
Because there was your stand
On top of all of the love you took
That was always something you could look at
Lying in your hand
