I've travelled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair
|
|
Up an down the two coast lines I've travelled everywhere
|
|
Portland east and Portland West and back across the line
|
|
I'm goin' down to the place that's best, the ol' hometown of mine
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
Well eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
|
|
Eight more miles on this ol' road and I'll never more be blue
|
|
I knew some day I'd come back, I knew it from the start
|
|
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
|

There's got to be a gal somewhere that you love best of all
|
|
Mine lives down in Louisville, she's little small oh she's small
|
|
She's the kind you can't find a' ramblin' through the land
|
|
I'm goin' there this very day to win her heart and hand
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
Well eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
|
|
Eight more miles on this ol' road and I'll never more be blue
|
|
I knew some day I'd come back, I knew it from the start
|
|
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart

|
|
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
|
|
A humble little hut for two, we'll never want to roam
|
|
The place that's right for that love sight is in those bluegrass hills
|
|
Where gently rolls the Ohio near a place called Louisville
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
Oh eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
|
|
Eight more miles on this ol' road and I'll never more be blue
|
|
I knew some day I'd come back, I knew it from the start
|
|
Eight more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
