Paul Revere

In April of 1775This great nation started comin' aliveOl' King George didn't look it one bitSo he proceeded to throw him a royal fitHe told his generals better get 'em back in lineMake 'em pay my taxes now America is mineStop that Independence cops before it gets aroundOr it'll gonna be hard to hold them rebels downWell the King was talking bout the men like Paul RevereAnd the minute men who held their dream of Independence dearThey kept their eyes on the British they watched 'em day and nightThey knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fightYes they knew that the British would get movin' any hourSo they arranged a signal in the Northern Church TowerPaul was watchin' when the tower showed a lightAnd he started on his midnight rideHe jumped on his horse hoofs started a hummin'He screamed out his warning redcoats're comin'Better get your guns and your fightin' britches onThey're comin' and they're eight hundred strongNext mornin' at Concord and Lexington townThe spirit of freedom turned the redcoats aroundWhen we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have hereThen let's remember Paul Revere yes let's remember Paul RevereI guarantee you somethin' and I wanna tell you allThat we never would've been here if it hadn't been for PaulYes sir I surely doubt us ever bein' hereIf it hadn't been for that man on that horse named Mr Revere
