[Intro]
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 filled.. with pain
Oh Daddy cried, they re taking.. Mama
Away from us, on the evening train
[Solo]
As I turned 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
[Solo]
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
