The Evening Train

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I heard the laughter at the depotBut my tears fell like the rainWhen I saw them place that long white casketIn the baggage coach of the evening trainThe baby's eyes are red from weepingIts little heart is filled with painOh Daddy cried they're taking MamaAway from us on the evening trainAs I turned to walk away from the depotIt seemed I heard her call my nameTake care of my baby and tell him darlingThat I'm going home on the evening trainI pray that God will give me courageTo carry on 'til we meet againIt's hard to know she's gone foreverThey're carrying her home on the evening train
