Lyrics for Song: Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - The Kingston Trio
I remember when I was a barefooted boy
Climbing in a sycamore tree
But now I'm a little older, got a rifle on my shoulder
Some fool made a soldier of me
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
Got a pretty gal waitin' for me while I rot here in the Army
Some fool made a soldier of me
I told her we'd marry and build us a home
And raise us a big family
But she's givin' all her charms to a blue uniform
Some fool made a soldier of me
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
The day's getting' hotter, I'm near out of water
Some fool made a soldier of me
I told General Custer I'm dyin' of thirst
And the heat is getting' to me
But he said, "Have no fear there's a big river near"
Some fool made a soldier of me
Some fool made a soldier of me, ah ha
And I ride in the rough Calvary
We'll get there in the morn to Little Big Horn
Hey, General Custer, I think I see an Indian over there
Yeah, ask her if she's got a friend for me
Some fool made a soldier of me

Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me
The Kingston Trio's 'Some Fool Made A Soldier Of Me' stands as a poignant example of the group's ability to blend folk storytelling with social commentary. Recorded during their peak popularity in the late 1950s, the track reflects the trio's signature harmonies and acoustic instrumentation that defined the folk revival era. The song addresses the harsh realities of military service, capturing the confusion and resignation often felt by conscripts. As part of their extensive discography, this recording highlights the group's commitment to traditional folk themes while maintaining a polished, accessible sound. The Kingston Trio used such tracks to explore human experiences beyond simple entertainment, cementing their influence on the genre. This work remains a testament to their skill in delivering emotionally resonant narratives through carefully arranged vocal performances and instrumental backing. |
