Custer's Blues

Well you look just like general custer

On the day of his last stand

Heading up into the black hills

Glorious and grand

I saw it by your side

A map in your hand

Heading up into the rain

Singing this land is your land

Now I've seen your dust a-rising

And I've seen your numbers swell

I've seen you crossing the badlands

And I've heard your captains yell

I've watched you when you're sleeping

I've seen you filling up your can

Thinking as you work

That this land is your land

But now you're bursting into my country

You're messing up my fields

You're playing games with my holy places

You're tearing the earth with your wheels

Right now your star is ascending

And your head is bursting with pride

But I wonder if custer was still singing

¡°this land is my land¡± when he died

Was he still singing ¡°this is my land¡± when he died

Was he singing that it's my land when he died

Was he singing when he died

Was he singing when he died

Was he singing it's my land when he died

When he died...

Was he singing when he died
