Lyrics for Dixieland by Earle Steve:
| | | Artist: | Earle Steve |
| | Album: | The Mountain | | Track: | Dixieland | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 249 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 Dixielan | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
