 Little Dan and Becky wave good-bye

 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 singin' down that dirt road

 His steps seem bold, his manner fancy free

 I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here
Than 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

Luther left at first light Friday morning 
 Little Dan and Becky wave good-bye 
 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 singin' down that dirt road 
 His steps seem bold, his manner fancy free 
 I pray we see him alive and well in the fall here Than 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
