Johnny Cash - 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 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 (here) Thomas (here) Wilson (yes sir we're all here)
We are present sir and all accounted for
