I've traveled 'round this country wide seekin' fortune fair

Up and down the two coastlines, I've been most everywhere

From Portland east, to Portland west, and back along the line

I'm goin' back to the place that's best, that old hometown of mine

Chorus

Eight more miles to Louisville, we're comin' to my view

Eight more miles on this old road and I'll never more be blue

I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start

Eight more miles to Louisville that's the hometown of my heart

There's bound to be a gal somewhere that you love best of all

Well, mine lives down in Louisville, she's long and she is tall

She's the kind that you can't find ramblin' through the land

I'm on my way this very day to win her heart and hand

Chorus

I can picture in my mind a place we'll call our home

It's a humble little shack for two, and we never more will roam

The place that's right is in my sight, it's in them bluegrass hills

Where gently flows the O-hi-o by place called Louisville

Chorus
