Called the Fetterman massacre,
For Captain Fetterman who led
Eighty soldiers to their doom sure.
Smarter warriors left all dead.
And left a message for white man,
Tearing apart of bodies done,
Parts strewn about the prairied span.
Soldiers mutilated, but one,
Adolph Metzger, a bugler lad,
Was covered in buffalo hide,
To show respect the warriors had
For the brave way in which he died.
Unarmed Metzger did die that day,
With battling bugle all the way.
