Oh Shiloh, here's mud in your eye
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
Get in one long last look fore you say your goodbyes
We're hauling away from Shiloh
We're rolling this shanty block out on the water
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
Oh we've robbed your sons blind and we've loved all your daughters
Haulin' away from Shiloh
So let her drift out where she lay
And the river will take us away
With lodestar above, aye, and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
Now the girls of the landing, they're plump and they're pretty
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
And the old Mississippi has beauties a-many
Haulin' away from Shiloh
There's parsons and lawmen with plenty of money
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
Well, to store in the hold of this old flying jenny
Haulin' away from Shiloh
So let her drift out where she lay
And the river will take us away
With lodestar above, aye, and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
So Shiloh now dry out your tears
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
For we gave ya tales you'll be tellin' for years
We are hauling away from Shiloh
'Cause there's river rats, junkers, and sailormen too
Haulin' away from Shiloh town
Ah, but we are the boys who can pull her straight through
And we're hauling away from Shiloh
So let her drift out where she lay
And the river will take us away
With lodestar above, aye, and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
With lodestar above, aye, and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
