Peter Lafarge Custer Lyrics

Custer Lyrics

Now I will tell you "busters"

I'm not a fan of Custer's;

And the
general he don't ride well any more. 

To some he was a hero,

But to
me his score was zero;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Now George, he'd had victories,

But never massacres;

And
the general he don't ride well any more.



Old George had done his
fightin'

Without too much excitin'

And the general he don't ride
well any more.



When the men were away at huntin'

Old Custer
would come in pumpin';

And the general he don't ride well any more.



He'd kill children, dogs and women,

With victories he was
swimmin';

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Now
the Sioux were gettin' tired,

And their temperatures were fired;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Crazy Horse sent
out the call

For Sitting Bull and Gall;

But the general he don't
ride well any more.



Twelve thousand warriors waited,

They
were unanticipated;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Thus the Little Bighorn

Massacre was born;

And the
general he don't ride well any more.



The Cheyenne and the Sioux

Had quite a lot to do;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Old Custer split his men,

Well he won't do that again

'Cause the general he don't ride well any more.



The proud 7th
Cavalry,

It got plumb masscred;

And the general he don't ride well
any more.



Custer made his stand

With his little band;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



But he wasn't
fighting women,

The Indians left them hidden;

And the general he
don't ride well any
