Dixieland — текст песни (Steve Earle)





I am kilrain and Im 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 captains brother was a railroad man and he met us the boat

So I joined up with the 20th maine like I said my friend Im a fighting man

And were marchin south in the pouring rain and were 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 Id march to hell and back again

For colonel joshua chamberlain - were all goin down to dixieland



I am kilrain of the 20th maine and I damn all gentlemen

Whose only worth is their fathers 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 battles heat

Now were all americans



I am kilrain of the 20th maine and did I tell you friend Im a fightin man

And Ill not be back this way again, cause were all goin down to dixieland
