I guess I should look in the DT before I post, but I was thinking of "THE BAGGAGE COACH AHEAD." I can't remember if it was mother's body in the coach. I have the words in a scrapbook an aunt kept long, long ago.

If it isn't in the DT, I'll try to find and post those words.

I was surprised it took so long for someone to post THE LETTER EDGED IN BLACK with its line:

Come home my boy,
Your poor old father wants you,
Come home my boy
Your dear old mother's dead.

At least it is in the DT, and I've spent so much time trying to remember those words.
