I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE

(Geoff Mack / John Grenell) (1966)

Adapted by John Grenell (John Hore), from the original Australian

Over the years, John has made changes in the list of NZ towns.





Well I was hitching a ride on a winding Hokitika road

When along came a lorry with a high and canvas-covered load

"If you're going to Hokitika, mate, with me you can ride"

So I jumped into the cabin and settled down inside

He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand

And I said, "Look, listen mate, I've been everywhere in this here land ...



Cos, I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere man

I've G crossed the desert bare man,

I've D breathed the mountain air man

Of travel I've had my share man

I've been everywhere
