Paul Revere
A-listen, my children, and you all shall hear
The story of the midnight rider, Paul Revere
Said to his buddy, "When they start to march"
"Polish up a lantern in the belfry-arch"
"Hang up one if by land"
"Hang up two if by sea"
Said Revere, "Over here on the opposite shore I'll be"
A-ready to giddy-up, giddy-up, far and near
Yankee doodle derby, winning, Mister Paul Revere
After that lantern flashed, he hit the road
Stoppin' round at every minuteman's abode
Gallopin' down each town by Heaven's light
Future of a nation ridin' hard at night
There was no radio flashing news far and wide
Just a man on a horse on a cross country ride
A-ready to giddy-up, giddy-up, far and near
Yankee doodle derby, winning, Mister Paul Revere
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up
That's the winner, Mister Paul Revere
