Now I will tell you, buster, that I ain't a fan of Custer's
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 fighting without too much exciting
And the General he don't ride well anymore
General Custer come in pumping when the men were out a-hunting
But the General he don't ride well anymore
With victories he was swimming 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 enthusing if us Indians had been losing
But the General he don't ride well anymore
General George A.Custer oh his yellow hair had luster
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
Custer was written by Peter La Farge.
