“I’ve Been Everywhere”

I was totin’ my pack along the dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an’ canvas-covered load.
“If you’re goin’ to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride.”
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I’d seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, “Listen, I’ve traveled every road in this here land!”

[Chorus:]
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert’s bare, man.
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I’ve had my share, man.
I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been to:
Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota,
Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma,
Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo,
Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I’m a killer.

[Chorus]

I’ve been to:
Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana,
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana,
Monterey, Faraday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa,
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa,
Tennessee to Tennesse Chicopee, Spirit Lake,
Grand Lake, Devils Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete’s sake.

[Chorus]

I’ve been to:
Louisville, Nashville, Knoxville, Ombabika,
Schefferville, Jacksonville, Waterville, Costa Rica,
Pittsfield, Springfield, Bakersfield, Shreveport,
Hackensack, Cadillac, Fond du Lac, Davenport,
Idaho, Jellico, Argentina, Diamantina,
Pasadena, Catalina, see what I mean-a.

[Chorus]

I’ve been to:
Pittsburgh, Parkersburg, Gravelbourg, Colorado,
Ellensburg, Rexburg, Vicksburg, Eldorado,
Larimore, Atmore, Haverstraw, Chatanika,
Chaska, Nebraska, Alaska, Opelika,
Baraboo, Waterloo, Kalamazoo, Kansas City,
Sioux City, Cedar City, Dodge City, what a pity.

[Chorus]

(I’ve been everywhere)

Then there is...

“Moffet, Oklahoma” Lyrics

Charlie Walker
(Curtis Leach - Claude McBride)

Well, I rolled into Moffet, Oklahoma
Down by the Arkansas state line
I walked into a honky tonk
And ordered a glass of California wine.

He said we got Oklahoma blue we got Arkansas homebrew
But no sir we don’t dig that foreign kind
We got brandy rum and gin and moonshine for the men
But we don’t dig no California wine.

A big cat stood up at a piano
His beard was at least a foot long
I walked up to the bandstand
And asked him to play me a hillbilly song.

He said we play rock and we play pop we play blues and we play bop
But no sir we don’t dig down on the farm
We play jazz and we play jerk and we watch those miniskirts
But we don’t dig no hillbilly song.

I sat myself down at a poker table
The sign said dealers’ choice, I played awhile
When my deal came I flipped the first card over
Said spit in the ocean cucamonga style.

He said we play draw and we play stud and I mean bud we play for blood
But no sir we don’t dig no nothin’ wild
You can buy one in a pinch stack the deck or check a cinch
But we don’t dig no cucamonga style.

I dropped a dollar on the blackjack table
And told the dealer let the face cards fall
ThenI turned over eighteen and said hit me
Well, he did and that’s the last thing I recall.

Well, I guess you know the rest I’ve got my semi pointed West
Yes sir whine big diesel whine
And if I ever see old Moffet Oklahoma again
It’ll be West of the California line.

They’ll have to move it West of that California line...

Moskva-Pekin (Moscow Beijing)--The All-Union Radio Choir (1950)

Russians and Chinese, brothers forever...
Stalin and Mao hear us.

Moscow, Beijing,
Moscow, Beijing,
We proceed, we proceed forward.
For world labor, for lasting peace
Under the flag of freedom.
