Hank Snow


Boston, Charleston, Dayton, Louisiana 
Washington, Houston, Kingston, Texarkana
Monterey, Ferriday, Santa Fe, Tallapoosa 
Glen Rock, Black Rock, Little Rock, Oskaloosa
Tennessee, Hennessey, Chicopee, Spirit Lake
Grand Lake, Devil's Lake, Crater Lake, for Pete's sake
I've been everywhere, man
I've been everywhere
From his 1962 hit single, "I've Been Everywhere," which originally listed Australian place-names.  

Hank Snow, who was born in Nova Scotia in 1914, died on this date in 1999.  "I've Been Everywhere" was one of his seven #1 hits.  I've watched this video several times and I still don't believe it.
