Текст песни Bob Dylan - It Takes A Lot To Laugh

It Takes A Lot To Laugh
Bob Dylan
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 ?"

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

Note: Play around with hammers D/Dsus2/, and  to , etc. Instead of straight strumming,
find a shuffle rhythm, get a slow roll going with fingers or a flat pick,
and let the chord notes bob up and down.
This is such an underestimated and underappreciated song.
I'm an old Literature student and teacher, so here's a question about the text: 
Who do you think is the "speaker" of the final verse?
