Born Fightin' |
My name is James McBride |
And I’m almost nineteen |
I sailed away from Derry |
To follow some dream |
I came to Philadelphia |
With a bible in my hand |
And God will be my witness |
In the promised land |
We were born fightin' |
And we’ll die fightin' |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
We started pushing south |
Down the wilderness trail |
Across the Blueridge Mountains |
And Virginia Plains |
With the Shawnee and the Cherokees |
Hiding all around |
Left a quarter of our brothers |
Laid beneath the ground |
We were born fightin' |
And we’ll die fightin' |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
Near the Shenandoah Valley |
There’s a cabin and a church |
We built it out of Rowan |
And the chopped down Birch |
Now there’s an army coming at us |
With their red coats on |
With their swords and their bayonets |
And their muskets drawn |
So we fought like devils |
And we shouted like hell |
And we stood our ground |
While those redcoats fell |
Then we fell to our knees |
And we buried our dead |
For the land of the free |
That’s the price we paid |
We were born fightin' |
And we’ll die fightin' |
'Till we belong |
We were born fightin' |
And we’ll die fightin' |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
'Till we belong |
We were born fightin' |
We were born fightin' |
We were born fightin' |
We were born fightin' |
Until we belong |
