Oh the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Never on this earth to meet no more

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles, long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend, I ever had

Oh I hear the train a-comin'
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles, to the graveyard
And I'll be left here all a- lone

Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles, long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend, I ever had


Left her in that lonely church yard
Left my darlin' alone
Now I'm sad, my heart is cryin'
As i wander thru life alone
