(that famous day in history the men of the 7th cavalry went riding on)
(and from the rear a voice was heard)
(a brave you man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am i doin' here??

Please mr. custer, i don't wanna go
Hey, mr. custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "attack"
And there i stood with a arrow in my back

Please mr. custer, i don't wanna go (forward ho), aaww

Spoken:
Look at them bushes out there
They're moving and there's a injun behind every one
Hey, mr. custer
You mind if i be excused the rest of the afternoon?
Hey cahrlie, duck yer head
Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one, charlie
Hooh, i bet that smarts

(they were sure of victory, the men of the 7th cavalry, as they rode on)

(but then from the rear a voice was heard)
(that same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear)
What am i doin' here??

Please mr. custer, i don't wanna go
Listen, mr. custer, please don't make me go
There's a redskin a'waitin' out there, just fixin to take my hair
A coward i've been called cuz i don't wanna wind up dead or bald

Please mr. custer, i don't wanna go (forward ho), aaww

Spoken:
I wonder what the injun word for friend is
Let's see friend kemo sabe, that's it
Kemo sabe, hey out there kemo sabe
Nope, that itn't it
Look at them durned injuns
They're runnin' around like a bunch of wild indians-heh heh, heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'
