"In the Baggage Coach Ahead"
By Thomas Buffer 

That song is published in a collection of 1890's songs issued by Dover.
Not being stateside at the moment I can't check my music library.  It
is the song about the man on the train with his wife's body one coach
ahead.

As the song begins, the man and a little baby are in a crowded train
car.  The baby starts fussing.  The other passengers start saying
"Somebody calm that baby!"  "Where's its mother?" etc., only to receive
the shattering reply...

Father Thomas Buffer
veritas Domini manet in aeternum
