From the recordings Bill's Saloon and The Minuteman
Lyrics
The Minute Man
Sending warnings to Medford homesteads
Clashing in trenches close and away
Salem Common is where it started
Guarding our Homeland still today
He is standing tall
He’s been through it all
It’s the Minuteman
He’s taking command
It’s the Minuteman
Our life’s in his hands
For he understands
(He’s) It’s the Minuteman
Fighting at Yorktown for our freedom
Marching (Bearing) South (down) to save New Orleans
Keeping States in tact (place) through rebellion
Landing on beaches in Normandy
He is firm and strong
He’ll fight all day long
Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo
Circling towers through fire and smoke
Chasing hurricanes, flooding and snow
A Citizen-Soldier we’re proud to know
He’ll be on the way
He is here to stay
