on the evening train

ON THE EVENING TRAIN
WRITERS HANK WILLIAMS, AUDREY WILLIAMS

The babyââ?¬â?¢s eyes are red from weeping
Itââ?¬â?¢s little heart is filled with pain
And Daddy cried theyââ?¬â?¢re taking Mama
Away from us on the evening train

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

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 Iââ?¬â?¢m going home on the evening train

I pray that God will give me courage
To carry on til we meet again
Itââ?¬â?¢s hard to know sheââ?¬â?¢s gone forever
