Lyrics
My name is General Custer © Arnold/Leblanc 2013
Ch.
Well my name is General Custer, step aside, step aside.
My name is General Custer, let me ride.
V1
I rode in many battles of the bloody civil war
Nobody tells me what to do
I know where I'm heading and what I'm fighting for
The President, the people and yeah, me too.
V2
I am a living legend from Bull Run to Gettysburg
Now I'm off to lead the 7th. cavalry.
There's action way out west or so that I have heard
Those Indians there ain't met no man like me.
Ch.
Well my name is General Custer, step aside, step aside
My name is General Custer, let me ride.
Instrumental as chorus
V3
On the Wa sh** a we found Black Kettle with his wife and braves
We charged their camp and put them to the sword
Spare the women and the children was the order that I gave
But in the mayhem orders were ignored
V4
Now we're at the Little Big Horn and there's arrows everywhere
My last shot fired and down to our last man.
I'm laughing as my sabre waves and slashes in the air
I can't accept that this is my last stand.
Br.
And now the guns are silent as I lie here on the ground.
My morning star is fading and my sun is going down.
I swear I see Black Kettle and he's calling out to me.
Saying "Yellow Hair won't join us in our dance of victory.
Old Yellow Hair won't join us in our dance of victory".
Ch.

Well my name is General Custer, see me die, see me die
My name is General Custer, see me die.
My name is General Custer, see me die, see me die
My name is General Custer, watch me die.
