Lyrics

Jerry fuller

I remember when I was a barefooted boy climbing in a sycamore tree
But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder. some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha! and I ride in the rough calva'ry
Got a pretty gal waitin' for me while I rot here in the army. some fool made a soldier of me

I told her we'd marry and build us a home and raise us a big family
But she's givin' all her charms to a blue uniform. some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha! and I ride in the rough calva'ry
The day's getting' hotter. I'm near out of water. some fool made a soldier of me

I told gen'ral custer I'm a-dyin' of thirst and the heat is a-getting' to me
But he said, "have no fear. there's a big river near." some fool made a soldier of me

Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha! and I ride in the rough calva'ry
We'll get there in the morn to little big horn
Hey, gen'ral custer. I think I see an indian over there. yeah! ask her if she's got a friend for me!
Some fool made a soldier of me
