Version 1[Verse 1] G D G C I've traveled o'er this country wide G D G Seekin' fortune fair G D G C I've been down the two coast lines A D I've traveled every where C G From Portland East and Portland West D And back along the line G D G C I'm goin' now to a 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 Louis-ville G D G The home town of my heart. [Verse 2] G D G C There's sure to be a girl somewhere D G That you like best of all G D G 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 rambling 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. [Verse 3] G D G C Now I can picture in my mind G D G A place we'll call our home G D G C A humble little hut for two A 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 Ohio G D G By a place called Louisville.
