"Go to sleep, go to sleep, Paul Revere! Please don’t make all that noise around here. How can we rest when from down in the street Comes the clomping and the stomping of your horse’s big feet. "Go away or we’ll call the police. And report you’re disturbing the peace! Stop horsing around in the dark of the night. Tell those people at the Old North church to turn out that light! "Whatever you’re trying to say, it’ll keep; Go to sleep, Paul Revere, go to sleep. "Are you planning to stay until dawn? Won’t you please get that horse off my lawn? You’re drunk and disorderly, feeling your oats. Tell those strangers behind you to take off those silly red coats "Why, you’re carrying on like the British are here!

Oh you dark black eyes, full-of-passion-eyes Oh you burning eyes, how you hyptontise Now I love you so, but I fear you though Since you glanced at me not so long ago. Oh I see you now, you are dark and deep I see grief and feel that my soul will weep I see now in you a winning burning glow in my poor heart will a fire grow. I’ m not sorrowful, I’m not repenting I accept all that my fate’s presenting All the best in life, God has given us- this I sacrifice, to you dark black eyes. ---
