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 still with pain
Oh Daddy, it cried
They're taking Mama
Away from us
On the evening train

As I turn 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

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
They're carrying her home
On the evening train
