Verse 1
(C major) On (F major) a (F sharpdim) (C major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) dark stormy (A minor) night,
as a train (C major) rolled along, (A minor)
the (C major) passengers had gone to bed. (F major)
Except one young man, (F sharpdim)
with a babe (C major) in his arm (A minor) s,
(A major) sat (D major) there with bowed down (G major) head.
The (C major) innocent one (B major) began cry (C major) ing,
as though its poor heart would break. (F major)
One angry man said, (F sharpdim)
make that child (C major) stop its (A major) noise,
it's (D major) keeping us all (G major) awake. (C major)
Put it out, said another (A minor) ,
don't (C major) keep it in here, (A minor)
we (C major) paid for our birth and want rest. (F major)
But never a word (F sharpdim) said
the man (C major) with the child
(A major) As he (D major) fondled it close to his breast (G major)
Oh, where (C major) is its mother, (A minor)
oh, (C major) take it to (A minor) her
A (C major) lady then softly said (F major)
I wish that I could, (F sharpdim)
was the man's (C major) sad reply
(A major) But she's (D major) dead in the (G major) coach ahead (C major)
While the train (B major) rolled onward, (C major)
a (F major) husband sat in tears
(G major) Thinkin' of the happiness,
just (C major) a (F major) few short (C major) years (G major) (C major)
Baby's face (B major) brings pictures (C major)
of a (F major) cherished hope that's dead
But baby's cries (F sharpdim) can't (C major) waken her (A major)
In the (D major) baggage called (G major) Ja (C major) heir (G major)
(C major) Every eye (A minor) filled with tears
(C major) when his (A minor) story he told
(C major) Of a wife who was faithful (F major) and true
He told how he (F sharpdim) saved all
his earning (C major) s for years
To (A major) build a little (D major) love nest just for two (G major)
How (C major) on heaven had sent him
(A minor) his sweet (C major) little babe, (A minor)
Her young (C major) happy lives it was blessed. (F major)
His heart seemed to break
when (F sharpdim) he men (C major) tioned her name, (A major)
And in tears (D major) tried to tell (G major) them the (C major) rest.
Every wo (A minor) man arose to (C major) assist
with the child, (A minor)
There were (C major) mothers and
wives on the train. (F major)
And seeing the little one
sleep (F sharpdim) ing in peace (C major)
With (A major) no thought of sorrow
(D major) or any thought of pain (G major)
Next (C major) morning at the (A minor) station
he (C major) bid all them good (A minor) bye
(C major) God bless you, he softly said (F major)
And each had a story to (F sharpdim) tell
(C major) in his home
(A major) Of the bag (D major) gage coach (G major) ahead (C major)
While (G major) (C major) the train (B major) rolled (C major) onward,
a (F major) husband sat in tears
Think (G major) ing of the happiness
just (C major) a (F major) few short (C major) years (G major)
(C major) Baby's face (G major) brings (C major) pictures
of a (F major) cherished hope that's dead
But baby's cries (F sharpdim) can't (C major) waken her (A major)
In the (D major) baggage called (G major) Chey (C major) enne
