It was a {{Numero|1}} song in the United States in 1960, topping the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the issue dated October 10, 1960, and remained there for one week. It is a comical song about a soldier's plea to General Custer before the climactic Battle of the Little Bighorn against the Sioux, which he did not want to fight.[1] In 1964, Verne recorded and released a sequel novelty song entitled "Return of Mr. Custer," which used the same melody and music arrangement but failed to chart. "Mr. Custer" was also a {{Numero|12}} success in the UK Singles Chart for Charlie Drake in 1960, his third such chart hit.[2] Novelty/country singer-songwriter Ray Stevens covered this song for his 1969 album Gitarzan.
