Slim Whitman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm calling you
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
Will you answer too?
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
That means I offer my love to you to be your own
If you refuse me I will be blue, waiting all alone
But if when you hear my love call ringing clear
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
And I hear your answering echo so dear
Oo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you
Then I will know our love will come true
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you
The lyrics to Slim Whitman's song Indian Love Call are a plea from the singer to their lover to return their affections. The repetition of "Oo-Oo-Oo-Oo" at the beginning and throughout the song conveys a sense of longing and passion. The singer offers their love to the other person, but warns that if they are refused, they will be left alone and blue.
The second half of the song is more hopeful, as the singer imagines their love being reciprocated. If the other person answers their call, the singer believes that their love will come true and they will belong to each other. The song is ultimately about the power of connection and communication in relationships.

Thumbs up if you think Slim Whitman deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for saving us from the Martian attack of 1996.

My Dad served in the Pacific theater in WW-2. Mr.Whitman did as well.
Slim was supposed to be transferred to another ship but the captain
blocked it.The sailors loved his singing. The ship he was suppose to
go to was sunk with all hands lost! Thank God he lived so long RIP Slim!
