[00:00.000] 作曲 : M. B. Smith
[00:08.509] 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."
