PARODY-LYRICS, a reprise
ORIGINAL SONG: "I've Been Everywhere", by Lucky Starr, covered by Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, Stompin' Tom Connors, and others.
PARODY COMPOSED: see part #1 of this parody-song by Giorgio Coniglio, June 2013. Further verses were added, to create this reprise in December 2015.

This song is dedicated to the memory of my father. Apart from a fierce determination to retain independent mobility, he was a highly responsible family man and bore little resemblance to the footloose and perhaps rascally hero of this piece. He was however an ardent admirer of rhyming patter, and would likely have enjoyed this song.

STILL UNDER MY OWN STEAM, part #2
(to the tune of "I've Been Everywhere")
UKULELE-FRIENDLY FORMAT

I like doing this song with progressive key changes, as in the Lucky Starr versions of the song; or if you like you can keep it simple like Johnny Cash did, and leave it all in the key of C.
