Oh, the rain is slowly falling
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Never on this earth to meet her 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-coming
Bringing my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I'll be left here all alone
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
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
Leave the best friend I ever had
