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 |
