Kingston Trio Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me Lyrics

Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me Lyrics

I remember when I was a barefooted boy

Climbing in a sycamore tree

But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder

Some fool made a soldier of me



Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha

And I ride in the rough Calvary

Got a pretty gal waitin' for me while I rot here in the Army

Some fool made a soldier of me



I told her we'd marry and build us a home

And raise us a big family

But she's givin' all her charms to a blue uniform

Some fool made a soldier of me



Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha

And I ride in the rough Calvary

The day's getting' hotter, I'm near out of water

Some fool made a soldier of me



I told General Custer I'm dyin' of thirst

And the heat is getting' to me

But he said, "Have no fear there's a big river near"

Some fool made a soldier of me



Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha

And I ride in the rough Calvary

We'll get there in the morn to Little Big Horn

Hey, General Custer, I think I see an Indian over there



Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me

Some fool made a soldier of me
