Nope..."You naughty little Bushwhacker you!"


But I can offer you a snippet from "Mr. Custer" though, also sung
by Charlie Drake, complete with a pic of the US 7th Cavalry Guidon:

                   (1865 U.S. Cavalry Guidon)
           (also carried at Custer's Last Stand, 1876)



      " That famous day in history
        The men of the Seventh Cavalry
        Went riding on...

        And from the rear a voice was heard,
        A brave young man with a trembling word
        Rang loud and clear...

              Whadd-am I doin' 'ere?

        Please, Mr. Custer...I don' wanna go.
        Er, Er...Mr Custer...please don't make me go!

        I had a dream last night
        About the comin' fight.
        Somebody yelled...ATTACK,
        An there I stood...with an arrow in my back!
        Please, Mr. Custer, I don' wanna go!

        FORWARD...HO!... "

             -- From the ballad "Mr. Custer" recorded by Charlie Drake
