I've traveled over 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
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
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
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
