Roll Call

Lyrics

To Annabel in Memphis
 It was just another day
 But her sweetheart and his buddies
 Died, ten thousand miles away
 ♪
 A Captain sadly walked the muddy bloody battlefield
 The smoke had cleared away and it was terrible and still
 In his pocket was a roster of the falling fighting men
 And the Captain had his orders, so the roll call begin
 Atkins Baker, Carter Calahan, Clement Jones, Johnson Moran
 McCoy, Perkins Rivers and Revere Stepherd, Thomas Wilson
 What can any of you here?
 ♪
 The roll call was completed but no sign of life was there
 Not one man had answered not one accounted for
 He turned around and he walked away and looked up to the sky
 When he heard his own voice echo and the answer from on high
 Atkins (here)
 Baker (here)
 Carter (here)
 Calahan (here)
 Clement (here)
 Jones (here)
 Johnson (here)
 Moran (here)
 McCoy (here)
 Perkins (here)
 Rivers (here)
 And Revere (here)
 Stepherd, Thomas, Wilson
 (Yes sir, we're all here)
 We are present sir and all accounted for
