Six More Miles (To The Graveyard) Songtext

Oh the rain is slowly fallin',
And my heart is so sore,
Six more miles and 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 and 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 and leave my darlin',
Leave the best friend, I ever had.

This verse not on record, but in both early song books:
Left her in that lonely church yard,
Left my darlin alone,
Now Im sad, my heart is cryin,
As I wander thru life alone.
