[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
On a dark stormy night
G Em
as the train rattled on,
G G7 C
all the passengers had gone to bed.
C
Except one young man
G
with a babe in his arms,
A7 D7
who sat with a bowed down head.
G Em G
The innocent one began crying
G G7 C
as though its poor heart would break.
C
“Make that child stop its noise"
G
One angry man said
A7 D7 G
for it’s keeping all of us awake”.
[Verse 2]
G Em
"Put it out" said another,
G Em
“don’t keep it in here –
G G7 C
we paid for our berth and want rest”
C
But never a word
G
said the man with the child
A7 D7
as he fondled it close to his breast.
G Em
“Where is its mother,
G Em
go take it to her”
G G7 C
A maiden then softly said
C
“I wish that I could”
G
was the man’s sad reply,
A7 D7 G
“but she’s dead in the coach ahead.”
[Refrain]
G F# G G7
While the train rolled onward,
C
a husband sat in tears,
D
thinking of the happiness
G C G
of just a few short years.
