Six More Miles (To The Graveyard)

Six More Miles (To The Graveyard)

(album: The Complete Hank Williams - 1998)

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.

[Chorus]

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.

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 a lone.

[Repeat chorus]

[This verse not on record, but in both early song books:]
Left her in that lonely church yard,
Left my darling alone,
Now I'm sad, my heart is crying,
As i wander thru life alone.
