Johnny Cash On the Evening Train Lyrics:
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 evenin' train.

The baby's eyes are red from weepin',
Its little heart is filled with pain.
"Oh, daddy," it cried, "they're takin' momma,
Away from us on the evenin' 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,
Darlin', that I'm goin' home,
On the evenin' train."

I pray that God will give me courage,
To carry on till we meet again.
It's hard to know she's gone forever,
They're carryin' her home on the evenin' train.

I pray that God will give me courage,
To carry on till we meet again.
It's hard to know she's gone forever,
They're carryin' her home on the evenin' train.

They're carryin' her home on the evenin' train.
