When The Master Calls The Roll - Rosanne Cash[00:00:00]

Girl with hair of flaming red[00:00:07]

Seeking perfect lover[00:00:11]

For to lie down on her feather bed[00:00:15]

Soul secrets to uncover[00:00:20]

Must be gentile, must be strong[00:00:25]

With disposition sunny[00:00:29]

Just as faithful as the day is long[00:00:34]

And careful with his money[00:00:39]

And so the open letter read[00:00:44]

The news boy did deliver[00:00:48]

Three months later plans were made to wed[00:00:53]

Down by the King James river[00:00:58]

Know the season may come[00:01:03]

Know the season may go[00:01:07]

When love is joined together[00:01:10]

With whoever be made whole[00:01:13]

When the master calls the roll[00:01:18]

Oh my darling will you leave?[00:01:39]

Take me to the altar[00:01:43]

I don’t have strength to watch you as you leave[00:01:48]

But my love will never fault her[00:01:52]

Oh my darling Marry Anne[00:01:58]

The march to war is calling[00:02:02]

Somewhere far across these southern lands[00:02:06]

The bands of brothers falling[00:02:11]

My tender bride, the tides demand[00:02:16]

That I leave you with your mother[00:02:21]

With my father’s riffle in one hand[00:02:25]

Your locket in the other[00:02:30]

Know the season may come[00:02:36]

Know the season may go[00:02:39]

Beware the storm clouds gather[00:02:42]

Take heat in warm of soul[00:02:45]

When the master calls the roll[00:02:51]

But can this union be preserved?[00:03:11]

The soldier boy was crying[00:03:16]

I will never travel back to her[00:03:20]

But not for lack of trying[00:03:25]

It’s a love of one true heart at last[00:03:30]

That made the boy a hero[00:03:35]

But a riffle ball and a cannon blast[00:03:39]

Cut him down to zero[00:03:44]

Oh Virginia once I came[00:03:49]

I’ll see you when I’m younger[00:03:53]

And I’ll know you by your hills again[00:03:58]

This town from 6 feet under[00:04:02]

Know the season may come[00:04:08]

Know the season may go[00:04:12]

A man is torn asunder[00:04:15]

But someday we may know[00:04:18]

When the master calls the roll[00:04:23]

Though the storm clouds gather[00:04:27]

Let the union be made whole[00:04:32]

When the master calls the roll[00:04:37]
