Eight More Miles to Louisville Grandpa Jones 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   alles-uke.de
