Evening Train, The

I heard the laughter at the depot

But my tears fell like the rain

When I saw them place the casket

In the baggage coach of the evening train

The baby's eyes were red from weepin

His little heart is filled with pain

Oh dad he cried they're takin mama

Away from us on the evening train

I turned to walk away from the depot

It seems I heard her call my name

Take care of baby and tell him darling

That I'm goin 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 carryin her home on the evening train

I heard the laughter at the depot

But my tears fell like the rain

When I saw them place the casket

In the baggage coach of the evening train
