Dixieland lyrics

Artist  : Earle Steve 
Song : Dixieland



 Send "Dixieland" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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
