Don’t Call De Roll- Dett 1927
CHORUS: Oh, don't call de roll,
Don't call de roll
Don't call de roll
Don't call de roll till I get there.
1. Jacob's ladder slim an' tall,
Don't call de roll till I get there,
Hain't got de faith surely yo' mus' fall,
Don't call de roll till I get there.
CHORUS:
2. Two while angels come walkin' down
Don't call de roll till I get there
Long white robe an' a starry crown,
Don't call de roll till I get there.
CHORUS:
