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
