The Evening Train Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE 1]
[C]I heard the laughter at the [F]depot,
But my tears [G]fell like the [C]rain
When I saw them place that long, white [F]casket
In the baggage [C]coach[F] of the evening [C]train.
The baby's eyes are red from [F]weepin'
It's little [G]heart is filled with [C]pain.
"Oh, daddy," it cried, "they're taking [F]mama
Away from [C]us [F] on the evening [C]train."

[VERSE 2]
[C]As I turned to walk away from the [F]depot,
It seemed I [G]heard her call my [C]name
"Take care of my baby and tell him, [F]darling'
That I'm going [C]home[F] on the evening [C]train.
I pray that God will give me [F]courage
To carry [G]on till we meet [C]again.
It's hard to know she's gone [F]forever.
They're carrying her [C]home[F] on the evening [C]train

[VERSE 3]
I pray that God will give me [F]courage
To carry [G]on till we meet [C]again.
It's hard to know she's gone [F]forever.
They're carrying her [C]home[F] on the evening [C]train
They're carrying her [C]home[F] on the evening [C]train [F/C]
