SOME FOOL MADE A SOLDIER OF ME (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.
And I ride in the rough cavalry. 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 given all her charms to a blue uniform. Some fool made a soldier of me.
And I ride in the rough cavalry. The day's getting' hotter. I'm near out of water. Some fool made a soldier of me. I told General 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.
And I ride in the rough cavalry. 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.
