Lyrics:

Oh, the rain is slowly falling
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darling
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 darling
Leave the best friend I ever had

Oh, I hear the train a-coming
Bringing my darling 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 darling
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 darling
Leave the best friend I ever had
