Gone To Shiloh

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Luther left at first light Friday morningLittle Dan and Becky wave good-byeThey're gonna have to share the weight togetherIdle hands will see a good farm slowly die.Gone to Shiloh for the UnionShoulder to shoulder, side by sideGone to Shiloh, hope springs eternalWhen flags and bullets start to flyApril's come and the air smells fresh with rainThey watched his shadow fade around the bendHe's headed for a different kind of thunderAnd the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying menGone to Shiloh for the UnionShoulder to shoulder, side by sideGone to Shiloh, time passes slowlyWhen flags and bullets start to flyThe old black rooster singin' down that dirt roadHis steps seem bold, his manner fancy freeI pray we see him alive and well in the fall hereThan that Godforsaken place in TennesseeGone to Shiloh for the UnionShoulder to shoulder, side by sideGone to Shiloh, men stand unitedWhen flags and bullets start to flyAfter all this, if we should prevailHeaven help the SouthWhen Sherman comes their way
