Custer |
| Now I will tell you, buster, that I ain’t a fan of Custer’s |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| To some, he was a hero, but to me his score was zero |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| Now Custer done his fighting without too much exciting |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| General Custer come in pumping when the men were out a-hunting |
| But the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| With victories he was swimming he killed children dogs and women |
| But the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| Crazy Horse sent out the call to Sitting Bull and Gall |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| Now Custer split his men well he won’t do that again |
| Cause the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| Twelve thousand warriors waited they were unanticipated |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| It’s not called an Indian victory but a bloody massacre |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| There might have been more enthusing if us Indians had been losing |
| But the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| General George A. Custer oh his yellow hair had luster |
| But the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| For now the General’s silent he got barbered violent |
| And the General he don’t ride well anymore |
| Oh the General he don’t ride well anymore |
