Steve Earle, The Milk Carton Kids - Custer 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 ACuster 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
