Marty Robbins - The Master's Call

Marty Robbins - The Master's Call

When I was but a young man I was wild and full of fire,
A youth within my teens but full of challenge and desire.
I ran away from home and left my mother and my dad,
I know it grieved them so to think their only boy was bad.

I fell in with an outlaw band, their names were known quite well,
How many times we robbed and plundered, I could never tell.
This kind of sinful livin' leads only to a fall,
I learned that much and more the night I heard my master call.

One night we rustled cattle, a thousand head or so,
And started them out on the trail that leads to Mexico.
But a norhtern started blowin' and lightnin' flashed about,
I thought someone was calling me I thought I heard a shout.
