"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...
