G I've traveled o'er this country wide D G A- seekin' fortune fair G I've been down the two coast lines D I've traveled everywhere C G From Portland East to Portland West D And back along the line G D G C I'm goin' now to the place that's best G D G That old home town of mine.
CHORUS G Eight more miles and Louisville C G Will come in to my view G Eight more miles on this old road A D And I 'll never more be blue C G I knew some day that I'd come back D I knew it from the start G D G C Eight more miles to Louisville G D G The home town of my heart. G There's sure to be a girl somewhere D G That you like best of all g Mine lives down in Louisville D She's long and she is tall C G But she's the kind that you can't find D A ramblin' through the land G D G C I'm on my way this very day G D G To win her heart and hand. CHORUS G Eight more miles and Louisville C G Will come in to my view G Eight more miles on this old road A D And I 'll never more be blue C G I knew some day that I'd come back D I knew it from the start G D G C Eight more miles to Louisville G D G The home town of my heart. G Now I can picture in my mind D G A place we'll call our home g A humble little hut for two D We'll never want to roam C G The place that's right for that love site D Is in those bluegrass hills G D G C Where gently flows the O-hi- o G D G
