Come all ye valiant soldiers -- a story I will tell |
| [00:16.815] |
About the bloody battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill. |
| [00:26.155] |
It was an awful struggle and will cause your blood to chill; |
| [00:34.217] |
It was the famous battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill. |
| [00:42.712] |
'Twas on the sixth of April, just at the break of day; |
| [00:50.837] |
The drums and fifes were playing for us to march away. |
| [01:00.296] |
The feeling of that hour I do remember still, |
| [01:08.367] |
For the wounded and the dying that lay on Shiloh Hill. |
| [01:27.364] |
About the hour of sunrise the battle it began; |
| [01:35.668] |
Before the day had vanished, we fought 'em hand to hand. |
| [01:44.653] |
The horrors of that field did my heart with anguish fill |
| [01:53.083] |
For the wounded and the dying that lay on Shiloh Hill. |
| [02:01.672] |
The wounded men were crying for help from everywhere, |
| [02:09.660] |
While others who were dying were offering God their prayer, |
| [02:19.055] |
"Protect my wife and children if it is Thy holy will!" |
| [02:27.336] |
Such were the prayers I heard that night on bloody Shiloh Hill. |
| [02:46.186] |
And early the next morning we were called to arms again, |
| [02:54.302] |
Unmindful of the wounded and unmindful to the slain; |
| [03:03.823] |
The struggle was renewed again, and ten thousand men were killed; |
| [03:11.850] |
This was the second conflict of the famous Shiloh Hill. |
| [03:20.421] |
The battle it raged on, though dead and dying men |
| [03:28.437] |
Lay thick all o'er the ground, on the hill and on the glen; |
| [03:37.767] |
And from their deadly wounds, the blood ran like a rill; |
| [03:45.988] |
Such were the mournful sights that I saw on bloody Shiloh Hill. |
| [04:04.979] |
Before the day was ended, the battle ceased to roar, |
| [04:13.083] |
And thousands of brave soldiers had fell to rise no more; |
| [04:22.400] |
They left their vacant ranks for some other ones to fill, |
| [04:30.562] |
And now their mouldering bodies all lie on Shiloh Hill. |
| [04:39.253] |
And now my song is ended about those bloody plains; |
| [04:47.149] |
I hope the sight by mortal man may ne'er be seen again! |
| [04:56.402] |
But I pray to God, my Saviour, "If consistent with Thy will, |
| [05:04.678] |
To save the souls of all who fell on bloody Shiloh Hill." |
