Call Of The Wild

Call Of The Wild - Frankie laine

My mother was gypsy my father a wayfarin' man

My home was the river the mountains

And warm desert sand

The roar of a train or a mad raging sea is

The call of the wild and it's callin' to me

My restless heart keeps repeatin'

I have to be free

There's memories to haunt me and torture

My wild savage soul

The heat in my veins like the beating of drums makes me roar

You want me to stay but I know I must roam

For the call of the wild keeps a-callin' me on

Your kisses are sweet but I know that I have to be free

No woman can tame me or chain me or tie me for life

There's oft times a sweetheart but never

Oh never a wife

Born to be happy but born to be free

I never look back for I know it must be

It's the call of the wild and

I know that it's callin' to me

There are strange foreign lands that keep callin'

Yes callin' to me

To the wide open spaces I know that I'm destined to be

A slave to a voice much stronger than a hand

That can bring out the beast deep in my kind of man

It's the call of the wild and I'll have to obey to obey

To obey it's command
