EIGHT MORE MILES TO LOUISVILLE

Recorded by Grandpa Jones

Words and music by Louis "Grandpa" Jones

[G] I've traveled o'er this country wide

A-[D] seekin' fortune [G] fair

I've been down the two coast lines

I've traveled every-[D] where

>From [C] Portland East and [G] Portland West

And back along the [D] line

I'm [G] goin' [D] now to a [G] place that's [C] best

That [G] old home [D] town of [G] mine.

CHORUS

[G] Eight more miles and Louisville

Will [C] come in to my [G] view

Eight more miles on this old road

And I 'll [A] never more be [D] blue

I [C] knew some day that [G] I'd come back

I knew it from the [D] start

[G] Eight more [D] miles to [G] Louis-[C] ville

The [G] home town [D] of my [G] heart.

[G] There's sure to be a girl somewhere

That [D] you like best of [G] all

Mine lives down in Louisville

She's long and she is [D] tall

But [C] she's the kind that [G] you can't find

A ramblin' through the [D] land

I'm [G] on my [D] way this [G] very [C] day

To [G] win her [D] heart and [G] hand.

CHORUS

[G] Now I can picture in my mind

A [D] place we'll call our [G] home

A humble little hut for two

We'll never want to [D] roam

The [C] place that's right for that [G] love site

Is in those bluegrass [D] hills

Where [G] gently [D] flows the [G] O-hi-[C] o

By a [G] place called [D] Louis-[G] ville.

CHORUS
