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 are taking Mama
Away from us on the evening train
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
I pray that God will give me courage
To carry on until we meet again
It´s hard to know she´s gone forever
They´re carrying her home on the evening train
