Comanche [the brave horse] lyrics

The battle was over at Custer's Last Stand

And taps were sounding for all the brave men

While one 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 bravest sometimes must fall

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave your all

Though you are silent, your deeds did speak loud

If your buddies 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 bravest sometimes must fall

Comanche, the brave horse, you gave your all
