It is so cold in Shiloh Town
Birds can hardly sing
Pretty girls gonna leave the town
They won't be back 'til spring

The war has been won they've come back home
But they're the ones that lost
I 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 today
Children all come out to play
Some are quick to come back home
Others, have gone to stay

It is so cold in Shiloh Town
Birds cant hardly sing
Pretty girls are gonna leave the town
They won't be back 'til spring

I'll sing hallelujah
You'll sing hallelujah
We'll all sing hallelujah
When they arrive at home
