Paul Revere |
| In April of 1775 |
| This great nation started comin' alive |
| Ol' King George didn’t like it one bit |
| So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit |
| He told his generals better get 'em back in line |
| Make 'em pay my taxes now America is mine |
| Stop that Independence cops before it gets around |
| Or it’ll gonna be hard to hold them rebels down |
| Well the King was talking bout the men like Paul Revere |
| And the minute men who held their dream of Independence dear |
| They kept their eyes on the British they watched 'em day and night |
| They knew very soon they’d get their chance to stand and fight |
| Yes they knew that the British would get movin' any hour |
| So they arranged a signal in the Northern Church Tower |
| Paul was watchin' when the tower showed a light |
| And he started on his midnight ride |
| He jumped on his horse hoofs started a hummin' |
| He screamed out his warning redcoats’re comin' |
| Better get your guns and your fightin' britches on |
| They’re comin' and they’re eight hundred strong |
| Next mornin' at Concord and Lexington town |
| The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around |
| When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here |
| Then let’s remember Paul Revere yes let’s remember Paul Revere |
| I guarantee you somethin' and I wanna tell you all |
| That we never would’ve been here if it hadn’t been for Paul |
| Yes sir I surely doubt us ever bein' here |
| If it hadn’t been for that man on that horse named Mr Revere |
