It is one of the Civil War song. John Hartford sings:

I'll put my knapsack on my back
My rifle is on my shoulder
I'm going down Shiloh
There I'll be a soldier

But "Shiloh" by Warren Hood from the album "Dark River", he sings other version.
I remember only;

I'll put my head to ???
??? ??? no border
I'm going down Shiloh
There I'll be a soldier

I'll keep your letter in my heart
??? ??? I'm older
I'm going down Shiloh
There I'll be a soldier

:anybody know the ??? of the lyric?

Thanks a lot, menzze!

I watched and listened to it many times,
but I couldn't follow him...

I'll put my head ...too far?
my yell to be on border??

us even I'm older...?

I'll try more.

Do you know what he sings?

I'll pull my hat to tumty tum.
My ears will be no bolder.
I'm going down to Shiloh town,
and there I'll be a soldier.

I'll keep your letter near by heart.
I'll see you when I'm older.
I'm going down to Shiloh town,
and there I'll be a soldier.

If you're willing to folk process that first verse, it could become:

I'll pull my hat to hide my hair,
My ears will be no bolder...

Many thanks, leeneia!!

I'd tried again and again but it didn't work...
Thanks to you, now I can understand the meaning!
I'm so glad to know it.

You're very welcome.

I enjoyed listening to the violin and hearing how he played the B part differently every time.

Here are the 2 verses:

I'll pull my hat to a fightin' cut
My yell could be no bolder
I'm going down to Shiloh
There I'll be a soldier

I'll keep your letter near my heart
I'll see you when I'm older
I'm going down to Shiloh
There I'll be a soldier
