(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 CHARLIE, 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´
