Lucky Starr I've Been Everywhere Lyrics

I've been everywhere...

Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta
road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered
load.
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with
me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and
sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here
land."

Chorus:
Cos "I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been ev'rywhere.

Been to:
