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
