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
