Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me Lyrics - 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 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
