Pat

it: "I've been everywhere man, cross the deserts bare man......I've been
everywhere......"

: A heard a song on the television tonight on a commercial.......Johnny Cash
:
cash may have done it, but the original hit was by hank snow in the 60s;
unusual for its rapid fire list of cities and so the lyrics are often
requested and i would be surprised if they don't show up in this thread soon
enough.
Pukie Muncher
back in the 70's by Lucky Starr. Both are still very active in the country
music scene, I am also proud to say they are work mates of mine on various
occasions.
It was a gigantic hit here & since has been recorded in nearly every
country - You should hear the Japanese version, It has also been recorded
as "I've had everything, Doc" with the towns changed to illnesses........
menangitis, laryngitus, tonsilitus, appendicitus.... etc.......
As to your countries version, I guess it will have to be a long search
through your record stores back cataloque, or contact the company the ad
was for & search out the advertising company who made the ad, Or if it was
Johnny Cash singing, check through his management if it is off a CD. Its a
hard song to sing, so if he had to learn it for the ad, I am sure he would
want to record it

Williams And Ree (A comedy group) did a version of this song called
"I've seen pubic hair" very funny... damnit, now I'm going to have that
song in my head for the rest of the day.... I've seen pubic hair, man I've
seen pubic hair, cross the desert bare, man up in the mountain air, i've
seen short ones, round one, curly ones.....

Coming to you live from the Grand Old Opery, it's Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys singing "Stick it where the Sun don't shine!"
