The True Story of April 18th, 1775
Here is the story of the three that rode
From town to town “The Regulars are coming out” they told
To warn Hancock and Adams was originally the goal
An unknown man tried but was caught and patrolled.
So the three that pursued (their names are all clear)
The brave and heroic Prescott, Dawes, and Revere
Who went to tell people the game plan they had
To get rid of the British before they got mad
Revere and Dawes rode out on different ways
Both arrived in Lexington without too many delays
Prescott then followed until they were caught
Paul had to stay but the others did not
When the minutemen heard of militia nearby
They let Paul go free and they probably cried
For the patriots had been warned by the trio,
As well as 2 more Prescotts, B. Tidd, and Monroe
Hi Elise,
ReplyDeleteThe British partols were the ones that stopped Revere, not the minutemen.
