On The Evening Train
Hank Williams as performed by Johnny Cash
Intro: ,,,,,,, (picked out, not just strummed)
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 babies eyes are red from weepin’
Its little heart is full of pain
Oh daddy it cried their takin’ momma
Away from us, on the evening train
Bridge (similar to intro)
,,,,,,,
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
Its hard to know, she’s gone forever
Their carrying her home, on the evening train
2nd Bridge(,,,)
I pray that god will give me courage
To carry on till we meet again
It’s hard to know, she’s gone forever
Their carrying her home, on the evening train
Their carrying her home, on the evening train
