When The Master Calls The Roll Lyrics
[00:02.13] Girl with hair of flaming red
[00:10.38] Seeking perfect lover
[00:14.55] For to lie down on her feather bed
[00:19.80] Soul secrets to uncover
[00:23.25] Must be gentle, must be strong
[00:28.79] With disposition sunny
[00:33.17] Just as faithful as the day is long
[00:38.39] And careful with his money
[00:42.39] And so the open letter read
[00:47.91] The news boy did deliver
[00:51.94] Three months later plans were made to wed
[00:57.77] Down by the King James river
[01:01.76] Know the season may come
[01:06.57] Know the season may go
[01:09.41] When love is joined together
[01:12.65] With whoever be made whole
[01:16.53] When the master calls the roll
[01:22.68] Oh my darlin' will you leave?
[01:42.71] Take me to the altar
[01:47.06] I don't have strength to watch you as you leave
[01:52.58] But my love will never faulter
[01:56.03] Oh my darlin' Marry Anne
[02:01.40] The march to war is calling
[02:06.35] Somewhere far across these southern lands
[02:11.57] The bands of brothers falling
[02:15.31] My tender bride, the tides demand
[02:20.59] That I leave you with your mother
[02:24.28] With my father's rifle in one hand
[02:29.10] Your locket in the other
[02:33.91] Know the season may come
[02:38.91] Know the season may go
[02:41.62] Beware the storm clouds gather
[02:45.49] Take heat in warm of soul
[02:49.16] When the master calls the roll
[02:55.03] But can this union be preserved?
[03:15.44] The soldier boy was crying
[03:19.66] I will never travel back to her
[03:24.60] But not for lack of trying
[03:28.81] It's a love of one true heart at last
[03:33.85] That made the boy a hero
[03:38.01] But a rifle ball and a cannon blast
[03:43.24] Cut him down to zero
[03:47.62] Oh Virginia once I came
[03:52.97] I'll see you when I'm younger
[03:57.21] And I'll know you by your hills again
[04:02.04] This town from 6 feet under
[04:06.43] Know the season may come
[04:11.14] Know the season may go
[04:14.21] One man is torn asunder
[04:18.64] But someday we may know
[04:21.19] When the master calls the roll
[04:27.61] Though the storm clouds gather
[04:30.78] Let the union be made whole
[04:34.98] When the master calls the roll
[04:41.86]
[00:10.38] Seeking perfect lover
[00:14.55] For to lie down on her feather bed
[00:19.80] Soul secrets to uncover
[00:23.25] Must be gentle, must be strong
[00:28.79] With disposition sunny
