Custer

Now I will tell you buster that I ain't a fan of Custer
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 fightin' without too much excitin'
And the General he don't ride well anymore
General Custer come in pumpin' when the men were out a huntin'
But the General he don't ride well anymore
With victories he was swimmin' he killed children dogs and women
But the General he don't ride well anymore
Crazy Horse sent out the call just 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 enthusin' if us Indians had been losin'
But the General he don't ride well anymore
General George A.Custer oh his yellow hair had lustre
But the General he don't ride well anymore
For now the General's silent he got bombarded violent
And the General he don't ride well anymore
Oh the General he don't ride well anymore

Custer

Ahora te diré, amigo, que no soy fan de Custer
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
Para algunos era un héroe, pero para mí su puntaje era cero
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
Custer peleó sin mucha emoción
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
El General Custer llegaba disparando cuando los hombres estaban de caza
Pero el General ya no cabalga bien
Con victorias nadaba, mató niños, perros y mujeres
Pero el General ya no cabalga bien
Caballo Loco envió la señal a Toro Sentado y Gall
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
Custer dividió a sus hombres, no volverá a hacerlo
Porque el General ya no cabalga bien
Doce mil guerreros esperaban, no estaban previstos
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
No se llamó victoria india, sino masacre sangrienta
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
Habría habido más entusiasmo si los indios hubieran perdido
Pero el General ya no cabalga bien
El General George A. Custer, con su cabello rubio brillante
Pero el General ya no cabalga bien
Porque ahora el General está en silencio, fue bombardeado violentamente
Y el General ya no cabalga bien
Oh, el General ya no cabalga bien
