[Verse 1]
Oh Shiloh, here's mud in your eye (haulin' away from Shiloh Town)
Get one last long look 'fore you say your goodbyes (and we're haulin' away from Shiloh)

[Verse 2]
We're rolling this shanty block out on the water (haulin' away from Shiloh Town)
We've robbed your sons blind and we've loved all your daughters (haulin' away from Shiloh)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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)
To store in the hold of this old flying jenny (haulin' away from Shiloh)

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
So Shiloh, now dry out your tears (haulin' away from Shiloh Town)
For we gave ya tales you’ll be tellin' for years (and we're haulin' away from Shiloh)
There's river rats, junkers and sailor men too (haulin' away from Shiloh Town)
But we are the boys who can pull her straight through (and we're haulin' away from Shiloh)

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
With lodestar above aye and trammels in tow
We are hauling away from Shiloh
