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 fightin'
Without too much excitin'
And the General he don't ride well anymore
General Custer come in pumpin'
When the men were out a huntin'
But the General he don't ride well anymore
With victories he was swimmin'
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 enthusin'
If us Indians had been losin'
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
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 fightin'
Without too much excitin'
And the General he don't ride well anymore
General Custer come in pumpin'
When the men were out a huntin'
But the General he don't ride well anymore
With victories he was swimmin'
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 enthusin'
If us Indians had been losin'
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
