autoharpbob 'Mother Songs' of the tear-jerker variety (216* d) Lyr Add: ON THE EVENING TRAIN (from Johnny Cash) 11 May 11


A couple I can add - and I have read through to check they haven't been mentioned.

"THE PICTURE ON THE WALL" - Carter Family - already in digitrad.


ON THE EVENING TRAIN
Hank and Audrey Williams
As sung by Johnny Cash on "American V: A Hundred Highways" (2006)

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.
The baby's eyes are red from weeping; its little heart is filled with pain.
"Oh Daddy" it cried, "They're taking Mama away from us on the evening train"

[Instrumental break]

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, Darling, that I'm going home on the evening 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 carrying her home on the evening 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 carrying her home on the evening train.
They're carrying her home on the evening train.
