TequilaRon Obit: Shel Silverstein (1930-1999) (83* d) RE: Shel Silverstein has died 11 May 99


Shel Silverstein wrote one of the best anti-war Folk songs I have ever heard. It's called The Hills Of Shiloh. I haven't done it in years, but if memory serves here are a few verses:

Have you seen Amanda Blaine> In the hills of Shiloh> Wandering In the morning Rain> In the hills of Shiloh>

Have you heard Amanda Sing> In the hills of Shiloh> Whispering to her wedding ring> In the hills of Shiloh>

Have you seen her Running Down> Searching through the sleeping town> In her yellowed wedding gown> In the hills of Shiloh>

Have you seen her standing there> In the hills of Shiloh> Wind a-blowing through her hair> In the hills of Shiloh>

Listening for the sound of drums > and a man who never comes> to the hills of Shiloh> Poor Amanda, doesn't know> It was over twenty years ago> In the hills of Shiloh>

Well this isn't right, but as we use to say at the University of South Florida its close enough for folk music. Ron
