Six More Miles (to the Graveyard) - Hank Williams

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 Ill 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 last stanza was not included in the record ---

Left her in that lonely church yard,
Left my darlin alone,
Now Im sad, my heart is cryin,
As I wander thru life alone.

An appreciation of Hank Williams should be a requirement to become a naturalized citizen of the USA.

I don't think it would hurt.

Yep, that nails it to the core. I was going to say the Hillbilly Hamlet but yours is better! Such an incredible talent for basically an uneducated cripple from the backwoods...He was a genius,,,, a diamond in the rough

It depresses me to see what Nashville has done to such a gorgeous heritage of real Country music. I'd normally save my cursing for a Hank3 comment but Taylor swift and the rest of Nashville can die choke on a Fucking cock for what they have done to my countries Heritage.
