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
