GET THEM ROPES OFF-A- THAT CROSS LYRICS BY BOB TERZO (D) (Verse 1) WE FAUGHT THE RED COATS IN THIS TOWN THEY BURNS OUR HOMES,,,,,OUR CHURCH RIGHT DOWN WE GRABBED OUR GUNS,,,,, RAN FOR HIGHER GROUND TO THAT CROSS SMOKE COVERED LIKE CLOUDS HERE WE FIGHT FOR INDEPENDENCE, AND HERE WE'LL DIE, TO DEFEND IT BRAVE SACRIFICE BENEATH THAT CROSS, FOR THIS ONE NATION UNDER GOD (CHORUS) GET THEM ROPES OFF THAT CROSS, YOU AIN'T PULLIN' IT DOWN THAT CROSS BEEN ON THE HILL, SINCE WE BUILT THIS OLD TOWN DON'T TREAD ON OUR LIBERTIES, OR DISRESPECT OUR FAMILIES YES IT'S TRUE WE TRUST IN GOD, SO, GET THEM ROPES OFF-A THAT CROSS (VERSE 2) TWO FLAGS ARE FLYING PROUD ONE DAY BROTHERS MARCH WEARIN' BLUE AND GREY WE ALL HAD ONE LAST STOP TO MAKE UP THE HILL TO THAT CROSS AND PRAY. WAVED OUR HATS WITH A REBELS YELL THEN MARCHED AWAY,,,, TO FACE WARS HELL BOUND FOR SOME PLACE CALLED GHETTESBURG THAT CROSS STILL WAITS FOR THEIR RETURN (CHORUS) (VERSE 3) SO MANY DIED FOR THEIR BELIEFS, BREAKIN' CHAINS OF SLAVORY SHACKELS CRY OUT,,, ALL MUST BE FREE, THE FIGHT GOES ON FOR LIBERTY. MORE BATTLES ARE GONA' COME OUR WAY, AND THESE WARS WILL CHALENGE OUR FAITH. AROUND THAT CROSS, WE'LL MAKE OUR STAND GOD BLESS THIS TOWN, GOD SAVE THIS LAND (CHORUS'), and-----------out
