Wherein I try to take up the professor's call for a Johnny Cash parody
I was totin’ my pack down the dusty Pinnath Gelin road
When along came a horse wain with a high and canvas covered load
“If you’re goin’ to Pinnath Gelin, friend, with me you can ride,
And so I climbed over the jockey box and then I settled down inside,
He asked me if I’d ever seen a road with so much dust and sand,
And I said, “Listen, I’ve traveled every road in this here land”
I’ve been everywhere man,
I’ve been everywhere man,
Crossed the deserts bare man,
I’ve breathed the mountain air man
Of travel I’ve-a had my share man,
I’ve been everywhere.
I’ve been to Arnor, Gondor, South Gondor, Emyn Arnen,
Erebor, Eriador, Snowbourne, Lothlorien,
Edoras, Belfalas, Tolfalas, old Cardolan,
Anfalas, Dol Amroth, Ered Nimrais, Gap of Rohan,
The Ettenmors, Sarn Ford, Eryn Vorn, Ered Mithrim,
Annuminas, Cair Andros, Nindalf, long’s been my path,
(chorus)
I’ve been to Near Harad, Far Harad, Ephel Duath, Minas Morgul,
Dagorlad, Tharbad, Gundabad, Ost-in-edhil,
Forodwaith, Enedwiath, Haradwith, Ered Luin,
Minhiriath, Northern Wastes, the Withered Heath, Parth Galen,
The North Downs, South Downs, Far Downs, Emyn Uial,
The Iron Hills, the White Downs, the Barrow Downs, here we go now,
(chorus)
I’ve seen the Forest River, Running River, Carnen River, Rhovanion,
Langwell River, Greylin River, Gladden River, Sea of Nurnen,
Khand, Rhun, Carn Dum, Gulf of Lune, Dead Marshes,
Mirkwood, Firien Wood, Fangorn’s Wood, and the Entwash,
Rivendell, Troll fells, Coldfells, down the Greyflood,
Calembel, Forochel, Nimrodel, more to tell,
(chorus)
Been to Westemnet, Eastemnet, Celebrant, Minas Tirith,
Rhimdath, Lossarnach, the Brown Lands, Osgiliath,
Esgaroth, Caradhras, Sirranon, through Moria,
Trollshaws, Amon Lhaw, Isengard, down through Umbar,
Morannon, Druadan, Mithlond, Harlond,
Forlond, Edhellond, the road goes ever on and on
