originally recorded by Hank Williams --------------------- The baby's eyes are red from weeping It's little heart is filled with pain And Daddy cried they'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 I'm going home on the evening train
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
