I'm a -talkin' plenty today,
yes sir.
I'm a -talk a little dab about Louisville.
It says here it's just eight more
miles.
Let's see how far it is.
I've traveled over this country
wide big unfortunate 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' down to
the place that's,
that's an old hometown of mine.
Oh, 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 of Louisville,
hometown of my heart
On me, Chester!
Woo me!
There's bound to be a boy
somewhere
that you like be st of all
Now mine lives down in Louisville,
he's long, he is tall
But he's the kind that
you can't find
around much through this land
I'm on my way this very day
to win his heart in hand
Oh, eight more miles of 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,
knew it from the start
Eight more miles of Louisville,
the hometown of my heart
Now I can picture in my mind
the place we'll call our home
A humble little spot for two,
we'll never want to roam
The place that's right to
that left side
of them bluegrass hills
Where nearby flows the Ohio
by a called Louisville
Eight and one mile of Louisville
will come into my view
Eight and one mile on this old road
down there before it'd blue
I knew some day that I'd come back
and do it from the start
Eight and one mile of Louisville,
the ho metown of my heart
Rikki -tik -tik, rikki -tik -tik,
rikki -tik -tik, rikki -tik -tik you
