"Shiloh" is a song off of Billy Corgan's second studio album, Ogilala. Corgan has said the song pays tribute to Glen Campbell. Along with "Antietam", it shares the name with a major American Civil War battle, however Corgan has clarified "Shiloh" in particular is not about the war.

“ ‘Shiloh’ has nothing to do with war but everything to do with a girl. And it’s basically an ape on Jimmy Webb. If you listen to the track, we’ve gone for the six-string Glen Campbell guitar. ” — Billy Corgan, Gigwise, October 12, 2017

Lyrics

Shiloh, Shiloh
Gunning after I know, I knows
Shiloh, Shiloh
Gunning after I know, I knows
We're gonna be so high
Another swallow, lest she climb
We're gonna be so high
Gonna be just right
A deuce with every dime
One dustbowl at a time
Callin, fallin', stallin', sailing by satellite
Yet who slips by

Shiloh, Shiloh
Singing after I know, I knows
Shiloh, Shiloh
Singing after I know, I knows

Near pacific pine, I'll be laying union tides
Cracked and colorblind
We're gonna be so high
Gonna be just right
At deuce with every dime

Callin, fallin', stallin', sailing by satellite
Aching, taking, stakin', losing my love by light
Yet who slips by

Shiloh, Shiloh
Running after home
