On the Evening Train lyrics

I heard the laughter at the depot

But my tears fell like the rain

When I saw them place that long white casket

In the baggage coach of the evening train

The baby's eyes are red from weeping

Its little heart is filled with pain

Oh Daddy cried they're taking Mama

Away from us on the evening train

As I turned to walk away from the depot

It seemed I heard her call my name

Take care of my baby and tell him darling

That I'm going home on the evening train

I pray that God will give me courage

To carry on 'til we meet again

It's hard to know she's gone forever

They're carrying her home on the evening train
