Custer - Peter LaFarge

Now I will tell you "busters"

I'm not a fan of Custer's;

And the general he don't ride well any more.

To some he was a hero,

But to me his score was zero;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Now George, he'd had victories,

But never massacres;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Old George had done his fightin'

Without too much excitin'

And the general he don't ride well any more.



When the men were away at huntin'

Old Custer would come in pumpin';

And the general he don't ride well any more.



He'd kill children, dogs and women,

With victories he was swimmin';

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Now the Sioux were gettin' tired,

And their temperatures were fired;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Crazy Horse sent out the call

For Sitting Bull and Gall;

But the general he don't ride well any more.



Twelve thousand warriors waited,

They were unanticipated;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Thus the Little Bighorn

Massacre was born;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



The Cheyenne and the Sioux

Had quite a lot to do;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Old Custer split his men,

Well he won't do that again

'Cause the general he don't ride well any more.



The proud 7th Cavalry,

It got plumb masscred;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



Custer made his stand

With his little band;

And the general he don't ride well any more.



But he wasn't fighting women,

The Indians left them hidden;

And the general he don't ride well any

Maintenant, je vais vous dire "busters"

Je ne suis pas fan de Custer;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.

Pour certains, il était un héros,

Mais pour moi, son score était nul;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Maintenant George, il avait eu des victoires,

Mais jamais de massacres;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Le vieux George avait fait son combat

Sans trop d'excitation

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Quand les hommes étaient partis chasser

Le vieux Custer viendrait en pompage;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Il tuerait des enfants, des chiens et des femmes,

Avec des victoires, il nageait;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Maintenant, les Sioux étaient fatigués,

Et leurs températures ont été tirées;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Crazy Horse a envoyé l'appel

Pour Sitting Bull and Gall;

Mais le général il ne roule plus bien.



Douze mille guerriers attendaient,

Ils n'étaient pas prévus;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Ainsi le Little Bighorn

Le massacre est né;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



La Cheyenne et les Sioux

Il y avait beaucoup à faire;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Le vieux Custer a divisé ses hommes,

Eh bien, il ne recommencera pas

Parce que le général ne roule plus bien.



La fière 7e cavalerie,

Il a été mis à l'aplomb;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Custer a fait son stand

Avec son petit groupe;

Et le général il ne roule plus bien.



Mais il ne combattait pas les femmes,

Les Indiens les ont laissés cachés;

Et le général il ne roule pas bien
