Shiloh lyrics

Rickety fence and a rocking chairThe smell of my father's pipeCackling goose in the summer airThe garden is green and ripeSuddenly now I'm far awayEven if in my mindI'm listening to my mama saying"If you can find the time"Come home, come home and rest awhileCome home, come home and rest awhileGet on home to Shiloh"The farther I have wandered offThe fonder I have grown, ShilohYeah, all the while I find a smileThinkin' about my homeThe autumn breeze is calling me awayCalling me home to ShilohOver the ocean the soldier sailedThe battle is finally wonHis mother is pressed up against the railingTrying to find her sonSuddenly now she sees a faceEasy to recognizeIt's been years to wait for the sweet embraceHolding him as she cries"You'd better get on home to Shiloh"The farther that you wander offThe fonder you will grow, ShilohYeah, all the while he found a smileThinkin' about his homeA sweet reunion coming through in wavesCalling him home to ShilohI've been thinkin' about my ho
