Intro
Verse 1
Luther left us first light Friday morning
Little Dan and Becky waved goodbye
They're gonna have to share the weight together
Idle hands will see a good farm slowly die
Chorus
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
Verse 2
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
[Repeat Chorus]
Verse 3
The old black rooster sang him down that dirt road
His step seemed bold, his manner fancy-free
I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here
Than that God-forsaken place in Tennessee
[Repeat Chorus}
Bridge
After all of this, if we should prevail
Heaven help the South when Sherman comes their way
