Custer - Mono Version
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 can't ride well anymore
Oh, the General, he don't ride well anymore
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 can't ride well anymore
Oh, the General, he don't ride well anymore
