From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mr. Custer" is a novelty song, sung by Larry Verne, that was a number-one song in the United States during the year 1960. It topped the Billboard magazine chart on October 10, 1960 and remained there for one week. It is a comical song about a soldier's plea to Custer at the climatic Battle of the Little Bighorn against the Sioux that he did not want to fight.[1]
