Tim Hardin



It is so cold in Shiloh town

Birds can hardly sing

Pretty girls gonna leave the town

They won't be back 'till spring



War is done they've come back home

But they're the ones that lost

See a man and a woman alone

Was it worth the cost?



I'll sing hallelujah 

You'll sing hallelujah

We'll all sing hallelujah

When they arrive at home



Sun is out it's hot to today

Children all come out to play

Some are quick to come back home

Others, gone to stay



Gets so cold in Shiloh town

Birds can hardly sing

Pretty girls gonna leave the town

They won't be back 'till spring



I'll sing hallelujah 

You'll sing hallelujah

We'll all sing hallelujah

When they arrive at home
