In 1876 on that bright summer morn' at the Little Bighorn
The arrogant Custer caught a few licks
When he tried to stand up to the Cheyenne and the Sioux
He was confident, he'd win the fight
But he underrated the Indian's might
Of White Bull, Iron Lightning, Swift Bear and Gall
Black Moon, Little Wolf, Crazy Horse
And Sitting Bull chief of them all oh, oh
Oh, Sitting Bull chief of them all
ย
Oh, the Indians tried to live in peace
On that bright summer morn' at the Little Bighorn
They signed the treaty that warship cease
A White man was cold, he wanted gold
He killed all the buffalo, destroyed the corn
Even brought unknown diseases to the unborn
Of White Bull, Iron Lightning, Swift Bear and Gall
Black Moon, Little Wolf, Crazy Horse
And Sitting Bull chief of them all oh, oh
Oh, Sitting Bull chief of them all
ย
Custer's Cavalry pressed the attack
On that bright summer morn' at the Little Bighorn
They thought they had driven the Indians back
But like a wave came an ocean of braves
Custer exclaimed to the noonday sun
Tell me where all these red-skins is coming from?
Like White Bull, Iron Lightning, Swift Bear and Gall
Black Moon, Little Wolf, Crazy Horse
And Sitting Bull chief of them all oh, oh
Oh, Sitting Bull chief of them all
ย
Well it wasn't long 'for the dust settle down
On that bright summer morn' at the Little Bighorn
The soldier was spread all over the ground
The battle was gone, the braves had won
Custer's men had fought their best
But the Indians had stood the test
With White Bull, Iron Lightning, Swift Bear and Gall
Black Moon, Little Wolf, Crazy Horse
And Sitting Bull chief of them all, oh, oh
Oh, Sitting Bull chief of them all
There was White Bull, Iron Lightning, Swift Bear and Gall
A well a Black Moon, Little Wolf, Crazy Horse
I said, "Look on poster, what they gonna do to you"
