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 everywhere 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, 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, 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'm sick.
I ain't been anywhere Joe, 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 been anywhere Joe, 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 been anywhere Joe, 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...
