The Kingston Trio - Some fool made a soldier of me

I remember when I was a ^Gbarefooted ^Dboy ^GClimbing in a sycamore ^Dtree But now I'm a little older, got a ^Grifle on my ^Dshoulder Some fool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme

Some ^Gfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme, ah ha! And I ^Gride in the rough caval^Dry Got a pretty gal waitin' for me, while I^G rot here in the army Some ^Dfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme

I told her we'd marry and ^Gbuild us a ^Dhome And ^Graise us a big fami^Dly But she's given all her charms to a ^Gblue uni^Dform Some fool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme

Some ^Gfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme, ah ha! And I ^Gride in the rough caval^Dry The day's getting' hotter, I'm ^Gnear out of water Some ^Dfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme

I told General Custer I'm a-dyin' of ^Gthirst And the heat is a-getting' to ^Dme But he said, "Have no fear, there's a ^Gbig river near" Some ^Dfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme

Some ^Gfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme, ah ha! And I ^Gride in the rough caval^Dry We'll get there in the morn, to ^GLittle Big Horn "

Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me" Some ^Dfool made a ^Asoldier of ^Dme
