Marty Stuart - Trip To Little Big Horn lyrics
[Marty Stuart - Trip To Little Big Horn lyrics]
I went to Little Big Horn
Not a single word was said
Except one old lonely ghost said
"the General's still dead"
The General's still dead"
I asked him if any Indians, ever came to call
He said the last one that he'd seen
Rode off with big Chief Gall
Rode off with big Chief Gall
Ole Sitting Bull once told me
On this very ground
He saw blue coat pony soldiers
Falling upside down falling upside down
There was not a single leaf
On a cottonwood tree
They were gone as the men of the 7th Calvary
7th Calvary
I stood on Calhoun's Hill
Rain fell like shattered glass i felt 12
000 solders blood flowing through the grass
Flowing through the grass
I saw 100 years of Indians
Dancing in the sun
I felt the Indian power the
Battle is still won the battle is still won
When they shot him through the heart
I wonder if it hurt
They left Mrs custer's husband to
Die there in the dirt die there in the dirt
Then a soldier came, and took me to the train
He said "Custer's still in Hell, boy
Forget you ever came forget you ever came"
I went to Little Big Horn
Not a single word was said
Except one old lonely ghost said
"The general's still dead
The general's still dead"
Not a single word was said
Except one old lonely ghost said
"the General's still dead"
The General's still dead"
I asked him if any Indians, ever came to call
He said the last one that he'd seen
Rode off with big Chief Gall
Rode off with big Chief Gall
Ole Sitting Bull once told me
On this very ground
He saw blue coat pony soldiers
Falling upside down falling upside down
There was not a single leaf
On a cottonwood tree
They were gone as the men of the 7th Calvary
7th Calvary
I stood on Calhoun's Hill
Rain fell like shattered glass i felt 12
000 solders blood flowing through the grass
Flowing through the grass
I saw 100 years of Indians
Dancing in the sun
I felt the Indian power the
Battle is still won the battle is still won
When they shot him through the heart
I wonder if it hurt
They left Mrs custer's husband to
Die there in the dirt die there in the dirt
Then a soldier came, and took me to the train
He said "Custer's still in Hell, boy
Forget you ever came forget you ever came"
I went to Little Big Horn
Not a single word was said
Except one old lonely ghost said
"The general's still dead
The general's still dead"
