Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me

Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me - The Kingston Trio

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 Calvary

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 Calvary

The day's getting hotter

I'm near out of water

Some fool made a soldier of me

I told General Custer I'm dyin' of thirst

And the heat is 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 Calvary

We'll get there in the morn to the Little Big Horn

Hey General 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
