"Shiloh" lyrics

"Shiloh"

Oh Shiloh, here's mud in your eye
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
Get one long look fore You say your goodbyes
We're hauling away from Shiloh

We're rolling this shanty block out on the water
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
Oh we've robbed just sons blind and we've loved all your daughters
We're hauling away from Shiloh

So let her drift out where she lay
The river will take us away
With lodestar above aye and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh

Now the girls of the landing
They're plump and they're pretty
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
And the old Mississippi Has beauties a'many
We're hauling away from Shiloh

There's parsons and lawmen with plenty of money
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
Well, to store in the hold of this old flying jenny
We're hauling away from Shiloh

So let her drift out where she lay
The river will take us away
With lodestar above aye and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh

So Shiloh now dry out your tears
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
For we gave ya tales you'll be tellin' for years
We are hauling away from Shiloh

There's river rats, junkers and sailormen too
We're hauling away from Shiloh town
But we are the boys who can pull her straight through
And we are hauling away from Shiloh

So let her drift out where she lay
And the river will take us away
With lodestar above aye and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh

With lodestar above aye and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
