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
