Some Fool Made a Soldier of Me — текст песни (Kingston Trio)

Jerry Fuller

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 calva`ry.
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 calva`ry.
The day`s getting` hotter. I`m near out of water. Some fool made a soldier of me.

I told Gen`ral 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 calva`ry.
We`ll get there in the morn to Little Big Horn.
Hey, Gen`ral 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.
