Johnny Cash - Custer Johnny Cash lyrics

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 can't ride well anymore
Oh, the General, he don't ride well anymore
