Letra:
I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man and I come from CountyClare
And the Brits would hang me for a Fenian so I took me leave ofthere
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 theboat
So I joined up with the 20th Maine like I said my friend I'm afighting 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 abanshee 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 justlike death
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I'd march to hell and backagain
For Colonel Joshua Chamberlain - we're all goin' down toDixieland
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I damn all gentlemen
Whose only worth is their father's name and the sweat of aworkin' man
Well we come from the farms and the city streets and a hundredforeign 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 afightin' man
And I'll not be back this way again, ‘cause we're all goin' downto Dixielan
