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

Refrain:
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 alone

Refrain
