[00:02.110]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
