- The Del McCoury Band 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
