Eight More Miles To Louisville Composer(s): Grandpa Jones - Louis Jones
First release: Grandpa Jones - 1946
Covered by multiple other artists
I've traveled o'er this country wide seeking fortune fair Up and down the two coast lines I've traveled everywhere From Portland East to Portland West back along the line I'm going now to the place that's best that old hometown of mine
Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view Eight more miles on this old road and I'll never more be blue I knew some day that I'd come back I knew it from the start Eight more miles to Louisville the hometown of my heart
There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you like best of all Mine lives down in Louisville she's long and she is tall But she's the kind that you can't find a traveling through the land I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand
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 flows the Ohio by a place called Louisville
