Mr Custer Lyrics

INDIAN>(That famous day in history the men of the 7th Cavalry went
riding on) 

 (And from the rear a voice was heard) 

 (A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear) 

 What am I doin' here?? 

  

 Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go 

 Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go 

 I had a dream last night about the comin' fight 

 Somebody yelled "attack!" 

 And there I stood with a arrow in my back. 

  

 Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward Ho!!)--aaww 

  

 SPOKEN: Look at them bushes out there 

 They're moving and there's a injun behind every one 

 Hey, Mr. Custer-you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon? 

 HEY CHARLIE, DUCK YER HEAD!! Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one,
Charlie 

 Hooh, I bet that smarts! 

  

 (They were sure of victory, the men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on) 

 (But then from the rear a voice was heard) 

 (That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear) 

 What am I doin' here?? 

  

 Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go 

 Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go 

 There's a redskin a-waitin' out there, just fixin to take my hair 

 A coward I've been called cuz I don't wanna wind up dead or bald 

  

 Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go (forward HO)--aaww 

  

 SPOKEN: I wonder what the injun word for friend is 

 Let's see--friend-- kemo sabe, that's it 

 KEMO SABE!, HEY OUT THERE, KEMO SABE! Nope, that itn't it 

 Look at them durned injuns 

 Theyre runnin' around like a bunch of wild Indians-heh, heh, heh 

 Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'
