On The Evening Train

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
