Текст песни Mr. Custer - Ray Stevens

(That famous day in history
The men of the 7th cavalry
Went riding on
And from the rear a voice was heard
A brave young man with a trembling word
Rang loud and clear.)

What the f am I doin' here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
Let me tell you, I had a dream last night
About the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "Attack! Attack!"
And there I stood with an arrow in my back

Please Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
(Forward ho!) No, no no no.
Look at them bushes out there, they're moving!
Ah bet there's an injun behind every one o' them.
Hey, Mr. Custer - you mind if I be
Excused for the rest of the afternoon?
Hey Charlie, duck yer head!
Nah, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Ooh, I bet that smarts!

(They were sure of victory,
The men of the 7th cavalry,
As they rode on)

Ah, say it loud, troops!

(Again 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 want to go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please please please don't make me go
There's a redskin a-waitin' out there,
Fixin' to take my hair
A coward I've been called
'Cause I don't want to wind up
Dead or bald, no

Please Mr. Custer, I don't want to go
(Forward ho!) No, no no no.
I wonder what the injun word for friend is?
Let's see friend kemo sabe, that's it
Kemo sabe!
Kemo sabe!
Hey out there, kemo sabe!
Nope, that ain't it...
Look at them out there.
Runnin' 'round like a bunch o' wild injuns
Heh, heh, heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'...
