lirik lagu steve earle - dixieland
i am kilrain and i’m a fightin’ man
and i come from county clare
and the brits would hang me for a fenian
so i took my leave there
and i crossed the ocean in the “arrianne”
the vilest tub afloat
and the captain’s brother was a railroad man
and he met us at the boat
so i joined up with the 20th maine
like i said my friend i’m a fighting man
and we’re marchin’ south in the pouring rain
and we’re all goin’ down to dixieland
i am kilrain of the 20th maine
and i fight for the chamberlain
?cause he stood right with us when the johnnies came
like a banshee on the wind
when the smoke cleared out over gettysburg
many a mother wept
for many a good boy died there, sure
and the air smelted just like death
and i am kilrain of the 20th maine
and i’d march to h-ll and back again
for colonel joshua chamberlain
and we’re all goin’ down to dixieland
and i am kilrain of the 20th maine
and i d-mn all gentlemen
whose only worth is their father’s name
and the sweat of a workin’ man
well, we come from the farms
and the city streets and a hundred foreign lands
sh-ll out blood in the battle’s heat
now, we’re all americans
i am kilrain of the 20th maine
and did i tell you friend i’m a fightin’ man
and i’ll not be back this way again
’cause we’re all goin’ down to dixieland
