Lyrics

作词 : Earle
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 me leave of 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 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 we fight for chamberlain
&cause he stood right with us when the johnnies came like a banshee on the wind
When the smoke cleared out of gettysburg many a mother wept
For many a good boy died there, sure, and the air smelted just like death
I am kilrain of the 20th maine and i'd march to hell and back again
For colonel joshua chamberlain - we're all goin' down to dixieland
I am kilrain of the 20th maine and i damn 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
And we spilled our 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
