In The Hills Of Shiloh
Shel Silverstein
Have you seen Amanda Blaine
In the hills of Shiloh?
Wanderin' in the morning rain
In the hills of Shiloh
Have you seen her at her door
Listenin' for the cannons' roar
And a man who went to war
From the hills of Shiloh
Have you heard her mournful cry
In the hills of Shiloh?
Have you seen her haunted eyes
In the hills of Shiloh?
Have you seen her runnin' down
Searchin' through the sleepin' town
In her yellowed wedding gown
In the hills of Shiloh
Have you seen her standin' there
In the hills of Shiloh?
Wind a-blowin' through her hair
In the hills of Shiloh
Listenin' for the sounds of guns
Listenin' for the rollin' drums
And a man who never comes
To the hills of Shiloh
Have you heard Amanda sing
In the hills of Shiloh?
Whisperin' to her wedding ring
In the hills of Shiloh
Hear her singin' soft and low
Poor Amanda doesn't know
'Twas ended forty years ago
In the hills of Shiloh
