Custer Songtext
von Peter La Farge

Now I will tell you busters, I′m not a fan of Custer's
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
Now to some he was a hero, but to me his score was zero
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Now George, he'd had victories, but never massacres
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
Old George had done his fightin′ without too much excitin'
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
When the men were away huntin', old Custer come in pumpin′
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
He killed children, dogs, and women, with victories he was swimmin′
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Now the Sioux were gettin' tired and their temperatures were fired
But the General, he don′t ride well anymore
Crazy Horse sent out the call for Sitting Bull and Gall
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
Twelve thousand warriors waited, they were unanticipated
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Thus the Little Big Horn massacre was born
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore


The Cheyenne and the Sioux had quite a lot to do
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Old Custer split his men, well he won′t do that again
'Cause the General, he don′t ride well anymore
The proud Seventh Cavalry, it got plumb massacred
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Custer made his stand with his little band
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
But he wasn′t fightin′ women, the Indians left them hidden
And the General, he don't ride well anymore
Custer got eliminated and his legend uncreated
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
It's not called an Indian victory, but a bloody massacrе
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
There would have been more enthusin' if thеm Indians were losin′
But the General, he don't ride well anymore
General George A. Custer, his yellow hair had luster
But the General, he don't ride well anymore
He got barbered violent and now old George is silent
And the General, he don′t ride well anymore
