2.

G

Now custer done his fightin

C

Without too much excitin

G D

And the general he dont ride well anymore

G

General Custer come in pumpin

C

When the men were out a huntin

G D G

And the genereal he dont ride well anymore

With victories he was swimmin

He killed children dogs 'n' women

But the general he dont ride well anymore

Crazy Horse sent out to call

To Sitting Bull and gall

And the general he dont ride well anymore

Now Custer split his men

Well he wont do that again

Cause the general he dont ride well anymore

Twelve thousand warriors waited

They were unanticipated

And the general he dont ride weel anymore

Its not called an Indian victory

But a bloody massacre

And the general he dont ride well any more

There might have been more (infusion or enthusin?)

If us Indians had been losin

But the general he dont ride well anymore

General George A. Custer

Aw his yeller hair had luster

But the genereal he dont ride well anymore

Fore now the general's silent

He got barberes viloent?

And the genereal he dont ride well anymore

Aw the general he dont ride well anymore

(with laughter through the words)
