In the Baggage Coach Ahead - Mac Wiseman/Joe Maphis
On a dark and stormy night as the train rattled on
All the passengers had gone to bed
Except one young man with a babe in his arms
Who sat there with a bowed-down head
The innocent one began crying
As though it's poor heart would break
Make that child stop it's noise
One angry man said
For it's keeping all of us awake
Put it out said another Don't keep it in here
We've paid for our berths and want rest
But never a word said the man with the child
As he fondled it close to his breast
Where is it's mother go take it to her
This a lady then softly said
I wish that I could was the man's sad reply
But she's dead in the coach ahead
While the train rolled onward
A husband sat in tears
Thinking of the happiness
Of just a few short years
Baby's face brings pictures
Of a cherished hope that's dead
But baby's cries can't waken her
In the baggage coach ahead
