I Ain't Been Anywhere Lyrics - Hank Snow

I was sittin' at home just a-listenin' to my radio 

An' 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, an' 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, Wallisburg, Cherbourg, Luxemburg, 

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, Tarancn, 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 

SPOKEN: 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!
