Johnny Horton

Comanche

The battle was over at Custers Last Stand

And taps were sounding for all the brave men

While one lone survivor, wounded and weak

Comanche, the brave horse, lay at the General's feet

Comanche, you fought hard, Comanche, you tried

You were a good soldier so hold your head up high

For even the greatest sometimes must fall

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave your all

Though you are silent, your deeds did speak loud

If your buddy's could see you, I know they'd be proud

The symbol of bravery at the Little Big Horn

Poor old Comanche, you're battle scarred and torn

Comanche, you fought hard, Comanche, you tried

You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high

For even the greatest sometimes must fall

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave your all

Comanche, you fought hard, Comanche, you tried

You were a good soldier, so hold your head up high

For even the greatest sometimes must fall

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave you all
