Hank Snow I Ain't Been Anywhere lyrics

I was sittin' at home just a-listenin' to my radio
And along came a fella who apparently had been on the go
Well, he started in a-braggin' 'bout ev'rywhere he'd been
And there isn't any place in this whole world he hasn't seen

You ask me where I've been and I'm a-going to tell you, Pard
Why I ain't even been outside the gate in my backyard

I ain't been anywhere, Joe, I ain't been anywhere, Joe
I didn't want to go, so I guess I'll never know, Joe
An old stick in the mud, bud
I ain't been anywhere

I ain't seen London, Paris, Washington, Chicago
Bombay, Mandalay, Calgary, Cashmere
Thailand, Ireland, Iceland, Greenland

Halifax, Poland, Switzerland, Scotland
Liverpool, Dry Gulch, Tombstone, Moscow
Carlsbad, Leningrad, Stalingrad, too bad

I ain't been anywhere, Joe, I ain't been anywhere, Joe
I didn't want to go, so I guess I'll never know, Joe
An old stick in the mud, bud
I ain't been anywhere

Siam, Amsterdam, Oslo, Rotterdam
Birmingham, Tokyo, Melbourne, Saigon
Trinidad, Hong Kong, Florida, Reykjavik

Copenhagen, Berlin, Congo, Key West
Petersburg, Wallaceburg, Cherbourg, Luxembourg
Chalush, Toronto, Cripple Creek, I am sick

I ain't been anywhere, Joe, I ain't been anywhere, Joe
I didn't want to go, so I guess I'll never know, Joe
An old stick in the mud, bud

I ain't been anywhere

Kumquat, Limerick, Inverness, Loch Ness
Swansea, Cuanda, Colombo, Gold Coast
Edinburgh, Singapore, Galveston, Okinawa

Blarney, Killarney, Karachi, Pyongyang
Warsaw, Tarancón, Down, Libya
Goose Bay, Labrador, outer space, no place

I ain't been anywhere, Joe, I ain't been anywhere, Joe
I didn't want to go, so I guess I'll never know, Joe
An old stick in the mud, bud
I ain't been anywhere

Ohio, Toledo, Wexford, Frankfurt
Silverton, Norfolk, Alamo, Sabula
Brighton, Kiowa, Denmark, Dover

Chalis, Rio, Lima, Philippines
Hebrides, Hawaii, Portland, Cleveland
Leipzig, Laramie, Horsehair, nowhere

I ain't been anywhere, Joe, I ain't been anywhere, Joe
I didn't want to go, so I guess I'll never know, Joe
An old stick in the mud, bud
I ain't been anywhere

Wait a minute, Horsehair
Why, doggone it, that's my hometown
So I guess I must 'a' been there, huh?

I ain't been anywhere
