Minutemen grabbed weapons to defend

In the North Church, is where they began

Dawes and Prescott got away, but Revere was arrested before Concord

Now Revere sailed across the Charles River

In the belfry two lanterns hung. One if by land, Two if by sea 

Got Revere’s horse from John Larkin

Have to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock 

“The Regulars are coming” was the warning

Revere, Prescott, and Dawes the riders

In Lexington and Concord

Dawes and Revere never made it to Concord but Prescott did

Eighteenth of April 1775
