Lyrics

Have you ever heard the story of the fight of little big horn
Right from the lips of someone that saw
Well I was there on that cold and fateful morning
Watched general custer and the bloody masacre

There were muskets arrows cannonballs a flyin'
Yelling screaming a lot of men were dyin' there at the little big horn

There were one thousand indians standing on the river bank
Two hundred calvary waited there with pride
Then I saw chief crazy horse leader of the indians
Old gneral custer with his musket by his side

Then crazy horse started things with a yell
That shattered the quiet of the early morn
General custer gave out a mighty mighty roar
And they met at the little big horn

There were muskets..

Of the one thousand indians there on the river bank
Five hundred indians died in the fight
And the brave calvary that had fought there that morning
Two hundred men not a single one survived

There were muskets..
