Paul Reverse rode along with William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. He did not say "The British are coming" since they were all British subjects. He was heard to say "The regulars are coming out" pertaining to the Kings' army. Please note that Paul Revere's ride was not particularly noted until poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote "Paul Revere's Ride" in 1861.
Paul Revere was a patriot. He was in the Sons of Liberty and was a Federalist Although he is famous for his midnight ride, he did actually say "The British are coming". Then he was arrested by British soldiers while he was riding to lexington, but a patriot he was, riding with delivered the message.
No one knows exactly what he said, but I think his exact words were, "The Regulars are coming out!" Or "The British are coming!"
Paul Rever said "the red coats are coming"
because Paul Revere is easy to say compared to William Dawes. Because Paul Revere is easy to say compared to William Dawes.

The fable of Revere comes from a Longfellow poem written in 1861 and in reality he didn't ride through the night yelling about the British coming. Longfellow wrote his poem on the eve of the civil war to remind people of the nation's history. Somehow the poem became part of history and was put into history books as fact. Revere never finished the ride, his horse was taken away and he was held by a British patrol, but thanks to Longfellow we all know who he is .
He wanted to say sorry
the christians are coming, the christians are coming.
