Eight More Miles To Louisville (MR 26) Eddie Millan

OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER

4 ladies promenade once inside you go
Get back & swing your lady once around you know
Join hands & you make that ring & circle to the left and go
Do an allemande left on the corner, weave around that ring
Well 8 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

Head/side couples promenade 1/2 way around and go
Come down the middle & square thru & get me 4 you know
4 hands & 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 FIGURE

Heads/sides promenade 1/2 way around and go
Side/head pair do the right & left thru & turn that girl you know
Square thru in the middle & get 4 hands around that floor
Dosado the corner there and do an eight chain 4
8 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

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
