Oh, the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles, i 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. I leave my darlin'
leave the best friend I ever had

Oh, I hear the train [bad word] #39;
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I'll be left here alone

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