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

[ fiddle ]

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...

[ steel ]

Six more miles...
