[Verse]
G D
I remember when I was a barefooted boy
G D
Climbing in a sycamore tree
G D
But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder
A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
G A D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!
G D
And I ride in the rough cavalry
G
Got a pretty gal waitin' for me, while I rot here in the army
D A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Verse]
G D
I told her we'd marry and build us a home
G D
And raise us a big family
G D
But she's given all her charms to a blue uniform
A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
G A D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!
G D
And I ride in the rough cavalry
G
The day's getting' hotter, I'm near out of water
D A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Verse]

I told General Custer I'm a-dyin' of thirst
D
And the heat is a-getting' to me
G
But he said, "Have no fear, there's a big river near"
D A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
[Chorus]
G A D
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha!

And I ride in the rough cavalry

We'll get there in the morn, to Little Big Horn
N.C.
"Hey, General Custer, I think I see an Indian over there"
N.C.
"Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me"
D A D
Some fool made a soldier of me
