Can any one help me locate the lyrics to "I Hear Little Rock
Calling", by Ferlin Huskey (I think). It wasn't one of his greatest
hits. Thanks, Tom

I HEAR LITTLE ROCK CALLING
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '66 Blue Crest Music »

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 Orcaser 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...
[ guitar ]
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 the border next train home
I hear Little Rock calling...
I hear Little Rock calling...
I hear Little Rock calling me back home

Uh, Sorch --

I think "Orcaser line" should be "Arkansas line."

At least that's the way I remember it.

Well, I'd like to be able to say sure, the ORCASER LINE, up there above Oil Trough or maybe Evening Shade, but all I could find were references to the line in the song. I'm guessing it was a mis-hear by the person who originally posted the lyrics.

Dale ~~ in Arkansas, North of Little Rock, South of Mountain View, and no where near the Orcaser Line so far as I know.

Sorcha - Thanks for the lyrics to I hear Little Rock Calling.
I'll take them any way I can get them - "Orcaser line" and all.
I appreciate your posting them.

Ok, Ok, I didn't check them. Just copy/paste. I'll try to remember to check in the future............Arkansaw line, not Or-what ever.

I don't think that is necessary, Sorcha. When a person copys and pastes lyrics ~~ and most of us do it, we can't be expected to find any but the most obvious of errors, at least in my opinion.

That is especially true when we are unfamiliar with the song to start with.

And of course, that was semi-anonymous me, not the other GUEST who gets the blame for everything unpleasant thing around here.

Puh-leese!

I wasn't trying to start some "thing" -- just wanted to clarify, as I remember the song when it came out, and, being from Arkansas, heard it absolutely to death on local and regional radio.

(who's from west of Cabin Creek, east of Shady Grove, north of Spadra, and southwest of Redlick.) **Grin**

By the way, if it weren't for Sorcha's diligence, many of us would languish in the wasteland of unknown lyrics. Thank you, another Mary, for your skill and perseverence!!
