Intro
Hey
the british are coming
the british are coming!
Verse 1
Now the ride of paul revere
Set the nation on it's ear
And the shot at lexington heard round the world
When the british fired in the early dawn
the war of independence had begun
the die was cast
the rebel flag unfurled
And onto concord marched the foe
To seize the arsenal there you know
Waking folks and searching all around
So our militia stopped them in their tracks
At the old north bridge we turned them back
And chased those redcoats back to boston town
Now the shot heard round the world
Was the start of the revolution
the minutemen were ready on the move
Take your powder
Take your guns
Report to general washington
Hurry men
there's not an hour to lose
Verse 2
Now
famous bunker hill
Even though we had lost it was quite a thrill
the rebel colonel prescott proved he was wise
Outnumbered and low on ammunition
As the british stormed his position
He said hold your fire
Till you see the whites of their eyes!
Though the next few years years were rough
General washington's men proved they tough
Those hungry ragged boys would not beat
One night they crossed the delaware
Surprised the hessians in their lair
And at valley forge just bundled up their feet
Now the shot heard round the world
Was the start of the revolution
the minutemen were ready on the move
Take your blankets
Take your sons
Report to general washington
We've got our rights and now it's time to prove
Verse 3
Well they showed such determination
That they won the admiration
Of countries cross the sea
Like france and spain
Who loaned the colony ships and guns
And put the british on the run
And the continental army on it's feet again
