They Rode Through The Valley Lyrics by Mickey Woods

The Complete Motown Singles | Vol. 1: 1959-1961

[Verse 1]
Men, we've got a mission
To go way over there
To stop some big bad Injuns
That are pluckin' off people's hair
So come on, get the lead out
Come and go with me
Said Custer to the men of the 7th Calvary
[Chorus]
So they rode through the valley
Towards the blazin' sun
Two by two, men in blue
Sword and trusty gun
'Til they sided their objective
Early in the morn'
Sitting Bull and his Injuns
The little itty bitty Big Horn
[Verse 2]
Remember what I tell you
When try to keep your head
There ain't no Injun arrow
That can out-fly Union lead
So stop that head from shakin'
And let your aim be true
Remember folks, in history
Depends on me and you
[Chorus]
So they rode through the valley
Towards the blazin' sun
Two by two, men in blue
Sword and trusty gun
'Til they sided their objective
Early in the morn'
Sitting Bull and his Injuns
The little itty bitty Big Horn
[Verse 3]
Now just before the charge
Custer told his men
"Remember, they're the bad guys
So naturally, we'll win
30,000 ain't too many
But let's just play it wise
Let's hold on to our fire
'Til we see their big white eyes"
[Verse 4]
So they fought and they died
And they fought and died again
Custer's last mistake
Is written on the wind
They say when Custer fell
Was then he realized
That all those big bad Injuns
Have big red bloodshot eyes
