C                                        F 
  I heard the laughter at the depot 
 
               G                         C 
But my tears, fell like the rain 
 
                                                                  F 
When I saw them place that long white casket 
 
                           C     F                       C 
In the baggage coach, of the evening train 
 
                                                 F 
The babies eyes are red from weepin’ 
 
             G                      C 
Its little heart is full of pain 
 
                                               F 
Oh daddy it cried their takin’ momma 
 
                   C   F                      C 
Away from us, on the evening train 
 
                      C                                F 
As I turned to walk, away from the depot 
 
       G                                      C 
It seemed I heard her call my name 
 
                                                          F 
Take care of my baby, and tell him darling 
 
                            C    F                       C 
That I’m going home, on the evening train 
 
                  C                          F 
I pray that god will give me courage 
 
                G                      C 
To carry on till we meet again 
 
                                               F 
Its hard to know, she’s gone forever 
 
                               C       F                      C 
Their carrying her home, on the evening train 
 
                 C                          F 
I pray that god will give me courage 
 
               G                      C 
To carry on till we meet again 
 
                                                 F 
It’s hard to know, she’s gone forever 
 
                              C       F                       C 
Their carrying her home, on the evening train 
 
                                        F                       C 
Their carrying her home, on the evening train
