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 a-comin'
Bringin' 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, leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had
She's the best friend I ever had
