[Verse]
                            F    
I heard the laughter at the depot
       G                       
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
                             F      
The baby's eyes are red from weepin'
            G                    C   
It's little heart is filled with pain


[Chorus]
                              F   
Oh daddy cried they're taking mama
          C  F                C    
Away from us ■ on the evening train

[Verse]
                                  F    
As I turned to walk away from the depot
            G                 C   
It seemed I heard her call my name
                               F      
Take care of baby and tell him darling
               C    F                C    
That I'm going home ■ on the evening train


[Chorus]
                             F      
I pray that God will give me courage
         G  G7          C    
To carry on til we meet again
                             F      
It's hard to know she's gone forever
                     C    F                C    
They're carrying her home ■ on the evening train

I pray that God will give me courage
         G              C    
To carry on til we meet again
                             F      
It's hard to know she's gone forever
                     C    F                C    
They're carrying her home ■ on the evening train
                          F                C    
They're carrying her home ■ on the evening train
