Gone To Shiloh Lyrics - The Union - Elton John

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 

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 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 

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 of this 

If we should prevail 

Heaven help the South 

When Sherman comes their way
