Steve Earle - Dixieland 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 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 d**h 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,
