《When The Master Calls The Roll》歌词

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

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

[00:00:11] Seeking perfect lover

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

[00:00:20] Soul secrets to uncover

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

[00:00:29] With disposition sunny

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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