Ride, ride though the night be cold,
Ride, ride 'til the truth be told,
Ride, ride like that man of old,
Ride like Paul Revere.
In '75, upon an April night,
The air was chilly and the moon shown bright;
They rowed him past the man-o-war,
Landed on the Charlestown shore,
Where the finest steed was ready for
The Ride of Paul Revere.
Ride, ride though the night be cold,
Ride, ride 'til the truth be told,
Ride, ride like that man of old,
Ride like Paul Revere.
He knew the British had the road patrolled,
Set out for Cambridge with a spirit bold;
He met two Regulars face-to-face,
Turned about at a lightning pace,
Until those men gave up the chase
And on rode Paul Revere.
Ride, ride though the night be cold,
Ride, ride 'til the truth be told,
Ride, ride like that man of old,
Ride like Paul Revere.
Arrived in Medford Town at 12 o'clock
And there alerted Adams and Hancock;
Ev'ry house, didn't miss a one,
Was aroused on that midnight run,
All the way to Lexington
On the ride of Paul Revere.
Ride, ride though the night be cold,
Ride, ride 'til the truth be told,
Ride, ride like that man of old,
Ride like Paul Revere.
But there were many who remained in bed
And, in history, their names are dead;
When faith and freedom within you die,
And when you hear the midnight cry,
And hoofbeats cross the moonlit sky,
Will you ride with Paul Revere?
Ride, ride though the night be cold,
Ride, ride 'til the truth be told,
Ride, ride like that man of old,
Ride like Paul Revere.
Nice
