3 4 4 -4 -4 5 5 -5 I’ve travel-ed ‘round this coun-try wide 5 4 -4 -3 4 Seek-ing for-tune fair 4 4 -4 5 5 -5 Up and down two coasts lines -5 6 -6 6 5 -4 I’ve travel-ed eve-ry where 4 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 6 From Port-land east to Port-land west 6 6 -6 6 5 -4 And back a-long the line 3 4 4 -4 -4 -4 5 5 -5 I’m go-in’ now to a place that’s best -5 5 4 -4 -3 4 That old home town of mine
6 6 6 5 6 -6 6 Eight more miles and Lou-is-ville 5 -4 4 4 -4 5 Will come in-to my view 6 6 6 5 6 -6 6 Eight more miles on this old road 5 5 -4 -4 -6 -6 6 And I’ll nev-er more be blue 6 -5 -5 -6 -6 -6 6 6 I knew some-day that I’d come back 6 6 -6 6 5 -4 I knew it from the start 4 4 -4 -4 5 5 -5 Eight more miles to Lou-is-ville -5 5 4 -4 -3 4 The home town of my heart
There sure to be a girl some-where That you like best of all Mine lives down in Lou-is-ville She’s long and she is tall But she’s the kind that you can’t find A ram-blin’ round this land I’m on my way this ver-y day To win her heart and hand
Chorus
Now I can pic-ture in my mind A place we’ll call our home A hum-ble lit-tle hut for two We’ll ne-ver want to roam The place that’s right for that love site Is in those blue-grass hills Where gent-ly flows the O-hi-o By a place called Lou-is-ville
Chorus
D
