PAUL REVERE

JOHNNY CASH

Tonalité :

In A pril of 1 775

th is great nation started coming t o life.

Old King George didn t l ike it one bit

so h e proceeded to throw h im a royal fit.

H e told his generals : Better get em back in line!

Mak e em pay my taxes now America i s mine!

Stop that independence talk b efore it gets around

or it s g onna be hard to h old them reb els down!

Well the K ing was talking bout t he men like Paul Revere

and the M inutemen who held their dream of independ ence dear.

They kept their eyes on the British t hey watched them day and night

th ey knew very soon they d get their c hance to stand and fight.

Yes they knew that the British would b e moving any hour

so t hey arranged a signal in the Northend c hurch tower.

Paul was watching when the t ower showed a light

and he s tarted on his m idnight ride.

He j umped on his hors e hooves started a humming

he scr eamed out his warn ing: Redcoats are comin!

Better get your guns and y our fighting breeches on

they re c omin and they re eight hund red strong.

Next m orning at Concord a nd Lexington town

the sp irit of freedom turned the Redcoats a round.

When we praise the men who made that m ighty nation we have here

then l et s remember P aul Re vere yes let s remember Paul R evere.

I guarantee you somethin and I wanna tell you all

that we never would 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
