Love this. It's true as well. "All of us are immigrants." Thank you America for Steve Earl...and the wire!

Maybe he/she only has an air mandolin.

@LordWellington15 , absolutely delighted be be a leftist reject, to be accepted by such an abhorent racist such as yourself, hiding behind your faded empire and your butchers apron would be , to say the least, slightly upsetting.As for knowing nothing about the Duke of Wellington, you are totally incorrect, I visit it about 3 or 4 times a week, as it is my local pub! Oh, yes, and..learn to spell.

@martcarey Oh boy another leftist reject who has no idea what he is on about. You know nothing about the Duke of Wellington, what he stood for or what he did. I am disgusted that people such as yourself think so highly of themselves, and bieleve that they are so smart, when really you are an idiot. I am not going to take the time to explain the Duke of Wellington to you because your inadequete brain size could not comprehend the information. Good bye.

@LordWellington15 , ya racist idiot. The man after who you name youself was an Irishman who so desperately wanted to embrace the upper class English.He denied his Irishness by stating that "if a man be born in a stable does that make him a horse?". So, your hero was both a nag and a boot.If your racist views are so important to you why not keep them to yourself and your fascist buddies instead of staining this beautiful heartfelt song with your vile bile?

apparently 7 people are close minded tools with no appreciation for great song writing ;p



These Lyrics are political! It is about the music and lyrics. I bet Steve would be pleased to know he is the musical spokesman for immigrants who are being targeted by right wing-nuts. Check out Cuentame. When one nationality is being persecuted it is a problem for all of us. As a great,great.great ...granddaughter of British immigrants in the 1600's I feel we have a responsibility to defend injustice...through speaking up or music, which is just another voice.

@slimrichey1 Steve Earle: never sold out, never will. This was written in response to CNN bigot-in-chief Lou Lobbs. And if yer hung up on Copperhead Road, you prolly don't know SE's music anyway. Great song... but just one of soooo many.
