In April of 1775 |
| [00:06.690] |
This great nation started comin' alive |
| [00:11.000] |
Ol' King George didn't like it one bit |
| [00:14.880] |
So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit |
| [00:18.830] |
|
| [00:19.740] |
He told his generals better get 'em back in line |
| [00:23.590] |
Make 'em pay my taxes now America is mine |
| [00:27.860] |
Stop that Independence cops before it gets around |
| [00:31.790] |
Or it'll gonna be hard to hold them rebels down |
| [00:35.130] |
|
| [00:36.690] |
Well the King was talking bout the men like Paul Revere |
| [00:41.450] |
And the minute men who held their dream of Independence dear |
| [00:45.770] |
They kept their eyes on the British they watched 'em day and night |
| [00:49.670] |
They knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fight |
| [00:53.730] |
|
| [00:54.150] |
Yes they knew that the British would get movin' any hour |
| [00:58.280] |
So they arranged a signal in the Northern Church Tower |
| [01:02.810] |
Paul was watchin' when the tower showed a light |
| [01:06.480] |
And he started on his midnight ride |
| [01:09.750] |
|
| [01:11.520] |
He jumped on his horse hoofs started a hummin' |
| [01:15.600] |
He screamed out his warning redcoats're comin' |
| [01:20.200] |
Better get your guns and your fightin' britches on |
| [01:23.940] |
They're comin' and they're eight hundred strong |
| [01:27.420] |
|
| [01:28.260] |
Next mornin' at Concord and Lexington town |
| [01:32.620] |
The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around |
| [01:36.900] |
When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here |
| [01:40.820] |
Then let's remember Paul Revere yes let's remember Paul Revere |
| [01:44.490] |
|
| [01:45.370] |
I guarantee you somethin' and I wanna tell you all |
| [01:51.220] |
That we never would've been here if it hadn't been for Paul |
| [01:56.330] |
Yes sir I surely doubt us ever bein' here |
| [02:03.230] |
If it hadn't been for that man on that horse named Mr Revere |
