Paul Revere

In April of 1775
This great nation started coming alive
Old King George didn't like it one bit
So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit
He told his generals better get
Them back in line
Make them pay my taxes now America is mine
Stop that Independence cops before
It gets around or it'll going to be hard
To hold them rebels down
Well the King was talking about
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 them day and night
They knew very soon they'd get their
Chance to stand and fight
Yes they knew that the British
Would get moving any hour
So they arranged a signal in
The Northern Church Tower
Paul was watching when the
Tower showed a light
And he started on his midnight ride
He jumped on his horse
Hoofs started a humming he screamed out his
Warning redcoats're coming
Better get your guns and
Your fighting britches on
They're coming and they're
Eight hundred strong
Next morning 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 something and I
Want to tell you all
That we never would've been here if
It hadn't been for Paul
Yes sir I surely doubt us ever being here
If it hadn't been for that man
On that horse named Mr Revere
