The song "I've Been Everywhere" was originally written by Australian country singer-songwriter Geoff Mack in 1959, but it was Lucky Starr who first made it popular in 1962 with his recording of the song in Australia.
However, the version that became most popular in the United States was recorded by Johnny Cash in 1996. Before Johnny Cash's version, Hank Snow, a Canadian-American country artist, recorded the song in 1962 and made it a hit on the U.S. country music charts. Snow's version is often credited with bringing the song to wider recognition in North America.
