Paul Revere & The Raiders - Legend Of Paul Revere Lyrics
In a little town in Idaho way back in sixty one
A man was frying burgers gee - it seemed like lots of fun
But to his friend the bun boy he confessed its misery
I think I'd like to start a group so come along with me
Please play our records for your congregation.
The band soon started booming they were raking in the coin
They found few new musicians and persuaded them to join
And Paul Revere decided since they had such new-found fame
We need a fancy title and The Raiders they became
And all youth stations across the nation
Please play our records for your congregation.
But streets aren't really paved with gold and you can't live on air
And then Dick Clark approached them said I know a thing or two
I'll put you on a TV show and make big stars of you
And all youth stations across the nation
Please play our records for your congregation.
Now thins are going groovy and we really can't complain
Thou the pace of rock 'n rolling nearly drives us all insane
To come to think of it our business manager's our biggest fan

R.I.P. Paul Revere
RIP Paul Revere... Your legend lives on! <3
Best sound quality I've heard on youtube, thx for posting. " I'll put you on a TV show and make big stars of you."
I love this channel!
I always like how Mark sang "Come to think of it, our business manager is our biggest fan!"
Dick Clark and his mafia both enhanced and murdered the Raiders by 'Hollywoodizing' the sound and beating all the Northwest sound out of them, thanks a heap Terry Melcher for nadah
In a little town in IDAHO U.S.A. I know a cute little Black Lab Labrador and one in Lake Odessa, MI and in Grand Rapids, MI.
Yes--this is the song ive been searching for--thanks!!!
In a little town in IDAHO U.S.A I know a cute little Jack Russel Terrier dog, a Beautiful German Shepherd, a Beautiful Beauceron dog and a Gorgeous Golden Retriever.
I went to my "Oldies Channel" to listen to this great tune, and I really enjoyed listening to it. I'm so glad you uploaded this great tune over a year ago. And what's really cool, it's STILL on YouTube!!! This is a nice, clean version of "Legend Of Paul Revere". And, I'm proud to say, this is STILL my Featured video on my "Oldies" channel. So thanks again for uploading this great tune!!!!
get off here u kno more about sarah palin!
Actually this song was included on the PR&R greatest hits album a bit before this new raiders formation released likely around the last Popular formation's album the great airplane strike. There is some known footage of Smitty still being in the band when the song Him or me was released but he was either sitting in for his replacement or haddn't joined the brotherhood yet with Drake and Phil that time.
I wonder how a song this older got on a later single? It was the transitional era when the members were changing and I guess they had nothing else to put as a b side.
R.I.P. Dick Clark
Also, Dick Clark was known as "America's Oldest Teenager".
You are so right my man. He started "American Bandstand" in the 50's in Philadelphia, hosted the "Pyarmid" games shows in the 70's and 80', and who can forget about "New Year's Rockin' Eve" at Times Square in New York City. It's gonna be strange, tuning into "New Year's Rockin' Eve" and not seeing him. He was an Icon, a true legend.
He will be missed by many generations.
Too bad this song was never a hit. Great song about how Paul Revere & The Raiders got their big break.
@rslitman Well, the farther away she's from Washington DC, the better ;-)
@bze2nlz4 And she's even from Idaho originally!
@heymrk LOL, how right you are :D
They know more about Paul Revere than Sarah Palin!
"And all you, Stations, Across the, Nation, Please play our records for your congregation". Mark sings those lyrics so well. This should have been a hit record. It is so awesome. Thanks Chris for uploading this :)
Dean
Another great early foray into country rock.
Nice song. I like the way Mark tells the story how The Raiders got their start and made their way to Fame and Fortune. Great sound too.
