In a Minute, Men, Minutemen!

IN A MINUTE, MEN, MINUTEMEN! 
Words by Gwendolyn Soper   ©2005

When do you need us?
We’ll come running to your aid!
We’re here to help our countrymen.
No need to be afraid!

Can you be ready in a minute, men?
Minutemen?
Aye!  In a minute, men!
We’re Minutemen!

We’re strong as the oxen
In our hand-hewn barns
We’re reg’lar folk who live at home
Protectin’ what is ours.

Freedom, life and liberty
Are part of what we cherish.
Wives and children; most important!
We fight!  Lest they perish.

If it’s early ‘fore the sun has risen
And we hear your twilight call,
We’ll dress and run in minutes
To form a human wall.

Guns a-ready? Courage man!
We fear no man in red.
We’re patriots that fight for truth,
Though some of us are dead.
