1
I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man
2
And I come from County Clare
3
And the brits would hang me for a fenian
4
So I took me leave of there
5
And I crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne"
6
The vilest tub afloat
7
And the captain's brother was a railroad man and he met us at the boat
8
So I joined up with the 20th Maine
9
Like I said my friend I'm a fighting man
10
And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain
11
And we're all goin' down to dixieland
12
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
13
And we fight for Chamberlain
14
'Cause he stood right with us
15
When the johnnies came like a banshee on the wind
16
When the smoke cleared out of Gettysburg many a mother wept
17
For many a good boy died there, sure
18
And the air smelted just like death
19
[Chorus]
20
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
21
And I'd march to hell and back again
22
For colonel Joshua Chamberlain
23
We're all goin' down to dixieland
24
I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine
25
And I damn all gentlemen
26
Whose only worth is their father's name
27
And the sweat of a workin' man
28
Well we come from the farms
29
And the city streets and a hundred foreign lands
30
And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat
31
Now we're all Americans
32
[Chorus]
