They Died with Their Boots On is a 1941 black-and-white American western film from Warner Bros. Pictures, produced by Hal B. Wallis and Robert Fellows, directed by Raoul Walsh, and starring Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland. Written by Æneas MacKenzie and Wally Kline, the film is a highly fictionalized account of the life of General George Armstrong Custer, from the time he enters West Point military academy, through the American Civil War, and finally to his death at Little Big Horn. Custer is portrayed as a fun-loving, dashing figure who chooses honor and glory over money and corruption. The battle against Chief Crazy Horse is portrayed as a crooked deal between politicians and a corporation that wants the land Custer gave to the Indians. Despite its historical inaccuracies, the film was one of the top-grossing films of 1941. They Died with Their Boots On was the eighth and final film collaboration between Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland.
Plot
George Armstrong Custer (Errol Flynn) enters West Point and quickly establishes himself as a troublemaker by showing up in an outlandish uniform he had designed himself, which makes him appear to be a visiting foreign general. After the misunderstanding, he signs up as a cadet, and begins to stack up demerits for pranks and a general disregard for rules while at the Point. When the Civil War breaks out, Custer is at the bottom of his class.

*** Lyrics:
We can dare or we can do
United men and brothers too
Their gallant footsteps to pursue
And change our country's story.
Our hearts so stout have got us fame
For soon tis' known from whence we came
Where'er we go they dread the name
Of GarryOwen in Glory.
Our hearts so stout have got us fame
For soon tis' known from whence we came
Where'er we go they dread the name
Of GarryOwen in Glory.
And when the mighty day comes round
We still shall hear their voices sound
Our clans shall roar along the ground
For Garyowen in glory.
To emulate their high renown
To strike our false oppressor down
And stir the old triumphant sound
with Garryowen in glory.
To emulate their high renown
To strike our false oppressor down
And stir the old triumphant sound
with Garryowen in glory.

Man, I've been workin too hard Ten hour days and I'm tired Damn this knuckle busted', back breakin', no paying job Know where I'm goin from here Hot headed women, cold beer Kick up my heels for a little while and do it country style [Chorus] In my dirty 'ole hat with my crooked little grin Granny beaded neck and these calloused hands And a muddy pair of jeans with that copenhagen ring No need to change a thing, hey y'all I'm going out with my boots on How I keep catching her eye Man, I keep wondering why Ain't nothing special 'bout an "awe shucks" country boy Lord, she's sure lookin' good Like something from Hollywood She got me thinkin' that I just might leave here with her tonight [Chorus] 'Cause I am who I am and that's the man I'm gonna be, yeah And when the Lord comes callin', well, he ain't gonna have to holler, y'all There'll be no trouble finding me [Chorus] With my boots on He's gonna take me home
