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.
