the true midnight ride

the man who road through mass at night 
but there was another who missed the spotlight 
Revere and Dawes road off to warn the sons of liberty 
Sam Adams and john Hancock at risk of capture 
were saved by the bravery of the nigh riders 
a rest they took for one hour to tend the horses soar and bleeding 
to concord they road warning the towns of the oncoming british 
with two lights in the tower they were coming by sea 
they picked up t third member of the ride 
a Dr. Prescott made the duo a trio and of they road 
but being stopped before lexington all with different results 
Prescott was free to go, Dawes was thrown by his horse 
he limped to lexington and Reveres ride was over 
he stood in his place before 10 british soldiers 
they had done there job the message was out 
they finished the journey and the fighting had begun
 yet only the one in the clink got the fame
