[00:00:00] In the Baggage Coach Ahead - Mac Wiseman/Joe Maphis

[00:00:06] On a dark and stormy night as the train rattled on

[00:00:12] All the passengers had gone to bed

[00:00:19] Except one young man with a babe in his arms

[00:00:25] Who sat there with a bowed-down head

[00:00:31] The innocent one began crying

[00:00:37] As though it's poor heart would break

[00:00:44] Make that child stop it's noise

[00:00:47] One angry man said

[00:00:49] For it's keeping all of us awake

[00:00:57] Put it out said another Don't keep it in here

[00:01:03] We've paid for our berths and want rest

[00:01:09] But never a word said the man with the child

[00:01:16] As he fondled it close to his breast

[00:01:22] Where is it's mother go take it to her

[00:01:28] This a lady then softly said

[00:01:35] I wish that I could was the man's sad reply

[00:01:40] But she's dead in the coach ahead

[00:01:47] While the train rolled onward

[00:01:53] A husband sat in tears

[00:02:01] Thinking of the happiness

[00:02:06] Of just a few short years

[00:02:13] Baby's face brings pictures

[00:02:18] Of a cherished hope that's dead

[00:02:25] But baby's cries can't waken her
