Lyrics Gone To Shiloh - Elton John, Leon Russell

Gone To Shiloh

Luther left at first light Friday morning
R32;Little Dan and Becky wave good-bye
R32;They're gonna have to share the weight together
R32;Idle hands will see a good farm slowly die.
Gone to Shiloh for the Union
Shoulder to shoulder, side by side
R32;Gone to Shiloh, hope springs eternalR32;
When flags and bullets start to fly
April’s come and the air smells fresh with rainR32;
They watched his shadow fade around the bend
He’s headed for a different kind of thunderR32;
And the stunned surprise in the eyes of dying men
Gone to Shiloh for the UnionR32;
Shoulder to shoulder, side by sideR32;
Gone to Shiloh, time passes slowlyR32;
When flags and bullets start to fly
The old black rooster singin' down that dirt road
R32;His steps seem bold, his manner fancy free
R32;I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here
Than that Godforsaken place in Tennessee
Gone to Shiloh for the Union
R32;Shoulder to shoulder, side by side
R32;Gone to Shiloh, men stand united
R32;When flags and bullets start to fly
After all this, if we should prevail
R32;Heaven help the SouthR32;
When Sherman comes their wayR32;
