Roll Call

Written by：Billy Joe Carnahan

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 Callaghan clement Jones Johnson Moran

McCoy Perkins rivers and revere Shepherd 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 Callaghan here

Clement here Jones here Johnson here Moran here

McCoy here Perkins here rivers here and revere here

Shepherd here Thomas here Wilson yes sir we're all here

We are present sir and all accounted for
