Lyrics

[Verse 1] Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more Don't leave no message around her back door They say the old laughing lady been here before She don't keep time, she don't count score [Verse 2] You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall It's time to move, there's none left for you to stall They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all [Harmonica Solo] [Verse 3] See the drunkard of the village falling on the street He can't tell his ankle from the rest of his feet He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet Ah but that laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep [Verse 4] There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night There's a slippin' on the stairway just don't feel right There's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flash of light There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right [Outro] Oh guilty train, don't whistle my way again Oh guilty train, don't whistle my way again
