I've been a-wonderin' all the night
And the best part of the day
And now I'm returnin' to my home
When I turn to my home
When I turn to my home
I know what I'll hear my darlin' moan
Moanin' one more mile
Moanin' two more miles
Moanin' honey can't you stay a little while?
I have rocked this old cradle
Every time the baby cried
'Cause it's daddy's been away so long
Yes, I rocked your old cradle
Yes, I rocked it so long
And always I sang the same old song
Sang one more mile
Sang two more miles
Sang 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 a-way
Well, I don't want your money
Well, I don't want your pay
But darlin', oh, darlin' 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 has got to go
Can't you hear what that old whistle has to say?
Sayin' one more mile
Sayin' two more miles
Oh, honey can't you stay a little while?
