Artist/Band: Jim Ed Brown and the Browns
Lyrics for Song: When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Jim Ed Brown and the Browns



When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time will be no more

And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair

When the saved world shall gather over on the other shore

And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there.



When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.



--- Instrumental ---



Let us lay before the Master from the dawns of setting sun

Let us talk of all his wonderous love and care

Then when all of life is over and our work on earth is done

And the roll is called up yonder I'll be there.



When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.



When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.



When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yonder

When the roll is called up yon...


When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder

Jim Ed Brown and the Browns delivered a spirited rendition of this traditional spiritual, blending gospel fervor with the rhythmic drive of jump blues. The track exemplifies the artist's signature ability to weave vernacular gospel themes with the infectious energy of 1950s R&B. Recorded during a pivotal era for the genre, the song captures the communal spirit of church gatherings while embracing the secular dance floors of the time. Brown's vocal delivery remains a benchmark for the style, characterized by its raw emotion and dynamic interplay with the band. This recording stands as a testament to the fusion of sacred and secular influences that defined the era, showcasing a musical approach that would later influence the development of soul and funk. The performance highlights the group's mastery of groove and their commitment to preserving the integrity of traditional hymns within a modern musical framework.
