Lyrics
general custer will you take a look around us
it looks like we're surrounded again
i've taken names of all the chiefs all around us
i don't recognize anyone as friends
do you know someone you can call in the army
that can send us thirty thousand men
general custer will you take a look around us
it looks like we're surrounded again
do you remember chasin' rebels through the valleys
takin' prisoners at the battle of bull run
general custer will you take a look around us
it doesn't look like we'll be going home
do you know someone you can call in the army
that can send us a hundred thousand men
general custer will you take a look around us
it looks like we're surrounded again
general custer will you take a look around us
it looks like we're surrounded again
good to see you brother
good to ride old friend
i'll see you on the other side
of the fence
