Paul Revere (保罗里维尔) - Johnny Cash (约翰尼·卡什)[00:00:00]

In April of 1775[00:00:02]

This great nation started comin' alive[00:00:06]

Ol' King George didn't like it one bit[00:00:11]

So he proceeded to throw him a royal fit[00:00:15]

He told his generals better get 'em back in line[00:00:19]

Make 'em pay my taxes now America is mine[00:00:23]

Stop that Independence cops before it gets around[00:00:27]

Or it'll gonna be hard to hold them rebels down[00:00:31]

Well the King was talking bout the men like Paul Revere[00:00:37]

And the minute men who held their dream of Independence dear[00:00:41]

They kept their eyes on the British they watched 'em day and night[00:00:45]

They knew very soon they'd get their chance to stand and fight[00:00:49]

Yes they knew that the British would get movin' any hour[00:00:54]

So they arranged a signal in the Northern Church Tower[00:00:58]

Paul was watchin' when the tower showed a light[00:01:02]

And he started on his midnight ride[00:01:07]

He jumped on his horse hoofs started a hummin'[00:01:11]

He screamed out his warning redcoats're comin'[00:01:15]

Better get your guns and your fightin' britches on[00:01:19]

They're comin' and they're eight hundred strong[00:01:24]

Next mornin' at Concord and Lexington town[00:01:28]

The spirit of freedom turned the redcoats around[00:01:32]

When we praise the men who made this mighty nation we have here[00:01:36]

Then let's remember Paul Revere yes let's remember Paul Revere[00:01:41]

I guarantee you somethin' and I wanna tell you all[00:01:50]

That we never would've been here if it hadn't been for Paul[00:01:54]

Yes sir I surely doubt us ever bein' here[00:01:59]

If it hadn't been for that man on that horse named Mr Revere[00:02:03]
