Elton John - Gone To Shiloh lyrics

Your rating:




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
