作词:Steve Earle

I am Kilrain and I'm a fighting 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 marching 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 going 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 working 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 fighting man

And I'll not be back this way again

'Cause we're all goin' down to Dixieland
