The Evening Train

C                           F
I heard the laughter at the depot,
             G             C
But my tears fell like the rain
When I saw them place that long, 
      F
white casket
               C    F             
In the baggage coach of the 
  C
evening train.
                             F
The baby's eyes are red from weepin'
            G                   
It's little heart is filled with 
 C
pain.
"Oh, daddy," it cried, "they're 
       F
taking mama
          C  F               C
Away from us  on the evening train."

As I turned to walk away from the 
F
depot,
            G                 C
It seemed I heard her call my name
"Take care of my baby and tell him, 
F
darling'
               C   F               
That I'm going home on the evening 
C
train.
                             F
I pray that God will give me courage
         G               C
To carry on till we meet again.
It's hard to know she's gone 
F
forever.

They're carrying her home on the
