Eight More Miles to Louisville Lyrics by Grandpa Jones

Country Music Hall Of Fame Series: Grandpa Jones

0

I've traveled o'er this country wide, a-seekin' fortune fair
Up and down the two coastlines, I've traveled everywhere
From Portland east to Portland west and back along the line
I'm a-goin' now to the place that's best, that ol' hometown of mine
Eight more mile and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more mile on this ol' road, and I'll nevermore be blue
I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more mile to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
There's sure to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all
Now, mine lives down in Louisville, she's long and she is tall
But she's the kind that you can't find a-ramblin' through the land
I'm on my way this very way to bring her heart in hand [sic]
Oh, eight more mile and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more mile on this ol' road, and I'll nevermore be blue
I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more mile to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
Play 'er, boy, play 'er
Now I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home
A humble little cot for two, we'll never want to roam
The place that's right for that love site is in them bluegrass hills
Where gently flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
Eight more mile and Louisville will come into my view
Eight more mile on this ol' road, and I'll nevermore be blue
I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more mile to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
Eight more mile to Louisville, the hometown of my heart
