Gone To Shiloh Lyrics

Gone to Shiloh

Luther left at first light Friday morning
(;Little Dan and Becky wave good-bye
(;They're gonna have to share the wait together
(;Idle hands will see a good fire slowly die.

Gone to Shiloh for the Union
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side
(;Gone to Shiloh, hope springs eternal(;
When flags and bullets start to fly

April's come and the air smells fresh with rain(;
They watched his shadow fade around the bend
He's headed for a different kind of thunder(;
And the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men

Gone to Shiloh for the Union(;
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side(;
Gone to Shiloh, time passes slowly(;
When flags and bullets start to fly

The old black rooster sang in death down that dirt road
(;His steps in bold, his man of fancy free
(;I pray we see him alive and well in the forehead(;
In that Godforsaken place in Tennessee

Gone to Shiloh for the Union
(;Shoulder to shoulder, side by side
(;Gone to Shiloh, men stand united
(;When flags and bullets start to fly

After all this, if we should prevail
(;Heaven help the South(;
When Sherman comes their way(;
