Gone To Shiloh

Musik Elton John/Text Bernie Taupin


Written by: Elton John & Bernie Taupin

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 ‘live 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
