Some Fool Made a Soldier of Me -Jerry Fuller I remember when I was bare-footed boy. Climbin' 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 given 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 dayt's getting' hotter, I'm a-near out of water, Some fool made a soldier of me. I told General 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 calvary We'll get there in the mornin' to the Little Big Horn .... (Hey, Gen'rl Custer, I think I see an Indian over there) (Yeah, ask her is she's got a friend for me) Some fool made a soldier of me.
