1. I heard the laughter at the depot
          G                   C
   But my tears fell like the rain
                   C                     F
   When I saw them place that long white casket
                  C     F              C
   In the baggage coach of the evening train
   
   He baby's eyes are red from weeping
   It's little heart is filled with pain
   And Daddy cried they're taking Mama
   Away from us on the evening train

2. As I turned to walk away from the depot
   It seemed I heard her call my name
   Take care of 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
