Thread Name: Lyr Req: Green Grass of Shiloh by Robert Beers
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Green Grass of Shiloh by Robert Beers
Also recorded on Columbia LP MS6705, "Introducing the Beers Family", 1964. Notes say it was written in the car drivingn back to New York from their visit to Shiloh. Transcribed from a transcription so there may be some errors.

CHORUS:

Sing low my Sairo, weep no more for me,
The green grass of Shiloh is growing over me.

The earth is my sweet breast; the soft wind is my song;
The blue eyes of heaven gaze on me all day long.
It sings to the forest; it whispers with the breeze;
I hear thy voice calling from every field and stream.

CHORUS

Hush now my Sairo, I will wait for thee
At the doorway of heaven where you will be with me.
Our sorrows forgotten, our souls forever soar
And the green grass of Shiloh will lead to heaven's door.

Hum and instrumental
