dave stamey - custer's ghost lyrics

[verse 1]
custer’s ghost standing by the river
custer’s ghost wondering what went wrong
searching all along the greasy grass
wonders where his darlin’ libby’s gone
custer’s ghost stumbles down the hillside
a lost lonesome look on his face
he’s not heard a bugle since forever
he can’t quite remember this place

[chorus]
it wasn’t for the honor or the glory
or the pipers and the drummers playing loud
these were just thе trappings of the story
all he evеr wanted was to make his libby proud

[verse 2]
but libby’s gone, like the buffalo
like the eagle blowing whistles at the sun
he listens for her voice among the cottonwoods
it’s only the wind blowing through
the lodge is gone from the valley
smoke no longer hangs in the sky
he waits on the hill where the ponies grazed
for the chance to see moonlight in her eyes
[chorus]
it wasn’t for the honor or the glory
or the pipers and the drummers playing loud
these were just the trappings of the story
all he ever wanted was to make his libby proud

[verse 3]
moon shines down on the river
shadows fall among the stones
out comes the wailing of coyotes
the very ones who carried off his bones

[chorus]
it wasn’t for the honor or the glory
or the pipers and the drummers playing loud
these were just the trappings of the story
all he ever wanted was to make his libby proud
