The Carter's may have recorded this also...

ONE-MAN BAND
SHEB WOOLEY

Ever' saturday you could see him
On the courthouse square with a guitar 'cross his lap
A beat up drum that he worked with his feet
And a harmonica stuck in his mouth
I used to stand right up in front
'Cause I was his biggest fan
Altho I never did even know his name
We just called him the ONE-MAN BAND.

Notes to:
[When the roll ... is called up yon-der
WEhen the roll ... is called up yon-der
I'll be there.]

The guitar had a crack or two
You could tell the drum was old
But he had a special way of playin'
His music came from the soul
Aw! he brought us an awful lot of pleasure
Playing them old-time songs
When he'd hit one that we all knew
Ever'body'd sing along.

CHORUS
When the roll ... is called up yon-der
When the roll ... is called up yon-der
When the roll ... is called up yon-der
When the roll ... is called up yon-der
I'll be there.

A lot of time has passed and things have changed
Since I've seen this old courthouse square
And I'm kinda disapointed
Like I expected him to be sittin' there
Folks say he just keeled over one saturday
Not far from where I stand
But in my mind I still can hear
The music of the ONE-MAN BAND.

CHORUS

TAG:
When the roll ... is called up yon-der
I'll be there.
