Tim hardin      It is so cold in shiloh town   Birds can hardly sing   Pretty girls gonna leave the town   They won't be back 'till spring      War is done they've come back home   But they're the ones that lost   See a man and a woman alone   Was it worth the cost?       I'll sing hallelujah   You'll sing hallelujah   We'll all sing hallelujah   When they arrive at home      Sun is out it's hot to today   Children all come out to play   Some are quick to come back home   Others, gone to stay      Gets so cold in shiloh town   Birds can hardly sing   Pretty girls gonna leave the town   They won't be back 'till spring      I'll sing hallelujah   You'll sing hallelujah   We'll all sing hallelujah   When they arrive at home
