Oh the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sad
Six more miles I'll 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 to the graveyard
Leave the best friend I ever had

Oh I hear that train a comin'
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
Never on this earth no more to roam

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