Six more miles to the grave yard
Six more miles left to ride
Six more miles and leave my darling
Leave the best friend I ever had
Oh, I see the rain a falling
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darling
Never on this earth to see no more
And I hear the train a blowing
Calling my darling back home
Six more miles and leave my darling
Never on this earth no more to roam
Leave her in that lonely church yard
Leave my darling all alone
Now I'm sad, my heart is crying
As I wander thru life alone
