Six more miles to the graveyard

Six more miles, long and sad

Six more miles to see my darling

She's best friend I ever had

And the rain is softly falling

And my heart, it is so sore

Six more miles to the graveyard

And I'll be here alone once more

Six more miles to the graveyard

Six more miles, long and sad

Six more miles to see my darling

She's best friend I ever had

Six more miles to the graveyard

Six more miles, long and sad

Six more miles to see my darling

She's best friend I ever had

And I hear the train a-comin'

Bringing my darlin' on back home

Six more miles to the graveyard

And I'll be here alone once more

Six more miles to the graveyard

Six more miles, long and sad

Six more miles to see my darling

She's best friend I ever had

Six more miles to the graveyard

Six more miles, long and sad

Six more miles to see my darling

She's best friend I ever had
