I Hear Little Rock Calling

(album: I Could Sing All Night - 1966)

I hear Little Rock calling, homesick tears a falling
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 calling 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 calling, homesick tears a falling
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 calling me back home

I've been through a thousand towns, mostly sleeping on the ground
And the thrill of traveling this old world is gone
I've been hungry and I've cold, I've been troubled in my soul
I'm a gonna climb and board the next train home

I hear Little Rock calling, homesick tears a falling
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 calling me back home

I hear Little Rock calling, homesick tears a falling
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 calling me back home
I hear Little Rock calling me back home
