Eight More Miles To Louisville
Grandpa Jones 1941
  (Mountain 125)   Eddie Millan
 
two columns

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

4 ladies promenade once inside you go
Get back and swing your lady once around you know
Join hands and you make that ring and circle to the left and go
Do an allemande left on the corner, weave around that ring
Well eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Dosado and then you promenade her too
Well I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
(I said) 8 more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Head (side) couples promenade 1/2 way around and go
Come down the middle and square thru and get me 4 you know
4 hands and you pull her by, make an ocean wave and then
Girls trade, girls run, tag the line, face to the right
Well the couples circulate, move up, do a 1/2 tag
Swing the corner lady there and promenade her home
*Well I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
(I said) 8 more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*From Portland east to Portland west and back along the line
I'm going now to the place that's best, that old home town of mine


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade 1/2 way around and go
Side (head) pair do the right & left thru and turn that girl you know
Square thru in the middle and get 4 hands around that floor
Dosado the corner there and do an eight chain 4
Eight more miles and Louisville will come into my view
Swing the corner lady there, then you promenade her too
Well I knew someday that I'd come back, I knew it from the start
(I said) 8 more miles to Louisville, the hometown of my heart

Same as Mountain 26.
