Will I hold my ground   will I hold my ground   will I hold my ground   at Shiloh      am I honor bound   am I honor bound   am I honor bound   at Shiloh      Is my love enough   to keep me from the bluff   but if it brings me home   my fear will I own   at Shiloh      Can you hear me still   can you hear me still   can you hear me still   from Shiloh      When I whisper your name   when I whisper your name   when I whisper your name   from Shiloh      is duty and honor bound   to staying above the ground   or will I die right here   while others thump and cheer   at Shiloh      they say the word means "place of peace"   well I don't know 'bout that   I seen the elephant the first time   then laid myself down flat      Don't want to see no more   don't want to see no more   don't want to see no more   at Shiloh      had enough of war   had enough of war   had enough or war   at Shiloh      All I want is home   and some fields to roam   untouched by what I've seen   running through that stream   at Shioh      oh the men who sent me here   sit safely far away   with big words they describe it all   praise the Lord and live another day   at Shiloh
