"Custer" lyrics

Custer

Now I will tell you buster
That I ain't a fan of Custers
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 lustre
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
