I’ve Been Everywhere (In Scotland)

The author of this adaptation would love to hear a recording of the song. Please contact us if you can help. Thank you.

I was totin’ my pack along a winding Highland mountain road

when along came a lorie with a high and canvas covered load.

“If you’re going tae Edinburgh, Mac, wi’ me ye’ can ride”

and so I climbed up in the cab and then I settled down inside.

He asked me if I’d seen a road wi’ sae much rain ‘n wind and I said, “listen, Jimmy, I’ve traveled ever’ road in this here land…”

I’ve been everywhere, man

I’ve crossed the Highlands bare, man

breathed the mountain air, man

of travel I’ve had my share, man,

I’ve been everywhere.

I’ve been tae Glasgow, Glencoe, Kelsoe, Edinburgh

Stornaway, Galloway, Colonsay, Musselburgh,

Wigton, Chatton, Hamilton, Queensferry,

Selkirk, Falkirk, Marykirk, Inverrary
