It is entitled "The Call of the Far Away Hills". No lyrics easily available. I'll give a good look in a bit unless someone gets there afore me.

Damn. It's one of those titles that needs the hyphen in it.

Look for

The Call of the Far-away Hills

We had this happen with another title about three years ago and it made a difference finding the song lyrics.

BTW, It was written by Victor Young.

Found this on the www:

"THE CALL OF THE FAR-AWAY HILLS was learned from Freeman Thomas of Jacksonville, Ark. For a long time, we believed the song to be one of the many fine, traditional western melodies Freeman plays on the harmonica. A few years ago, Joe Hickerson readily identified it as the theme to the 1952 movie, "Shane." The music was written by Victor Young with words by Mack David. ©1952, Paramount Music Corporation"

And to further complicate the matter, it is also entitled

"The Call of the Faraway Hills".
