Lyrics

I've been wandering all the night And the best part of the day And now I'm returning to my home; When I turn to my home, when I turn to my home I know what I'll hear my darling moan
Moaning one more mile Moaning two more miles Moaning honey can't you stay a little while
I have rocked this old cradle every time the baby cried Cause its daddy's been away so long Yes, I've rocked this old cradle, yes I've rocked it so long And always I sing the same old song Sing, one more mile Singing, two more miles Singing, honey can't you stay a little while I have give you all my money, I have give you all my pay It's so hard to make a livin' this away Well, I don't want your money and I don't want your pay But darling, oh darling, can't you stay? Always, one more mile Always, two more miles Always, honey can't you stay a little while My time it is done, I must be gone No longer, no longer can I stay When that old lonesome whistle blows, well, a man's got to go Can't you hear what that old whistle has to say? Saying, one more mile Saying, two more miles Saying, honey can't you stay a little while
