You can see the sheet music at the Library of Congress website.

SIX FEET OF EARTH.
Words by Joe A. Gulick, music by James E. Stewart, ©1878.

Lyrics are identical to those posted above.

Furthermore, it now seems evident that the date reported above—1867—is incorrect. What appears to be one volume of songs is actually several unrelated songbooks bound together. The one that includes SIX FEET OF EARTH is undated.
