I HEAR LITTLE ROCK CALLING
(Dallas Frazier)

Ferlin Husky - 1965



 
I hear Little Rock callin', homesick tears a-fallin'
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home

I remember on that day they said, "Son, don't go away"
Now I wish I would've listened to their call
I miss my Mom and I miss my Dad and the good friends that I had
But I miss my hometown sweetheart most of all

I hear Little Rock callin', homesick tears a-fallin'
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home

(Instrumental Break)

I've been through a thousand towns, mostly sleepin' on the ground
And the thrill of travelin' this ol' world is gone
I've been hungry and I've been cold, I've been troubled in my soul
I'm a-gonna climb aboard the next train home

I hear Little Rock callin', homesick tears a-fallin'
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home

I hear Little Rock callin', homesick tears a-fallin'
I've been away from Little Rock way too long
I'm gonna have a worried mind till I cross the Arkansas line
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home
I hear Little Rock callin' me back home
