The Deadwood Stage (Whip Crack-Away)

The Deadwood Stage(Whip Crack-Away) - Doris Day

Oh the Deadwood stage is

A rollin' on over the plains

With the curtains flappin'

And the driver slappin' the reins

A beautiful sky a wonderful day

Whip crack away whip crack away

Whip crack away

Oh the Deadwood stage is

A headin' on over the hills

Where the Injun arrows

Are thicker than porcupine quills

Dangerous land no time to delay

So whip crack away

Whip crack away whip crack away

We're headin' straight for town

Loaded down

With a fancy cargo

Care of Wells and Fargo Illinois boy

Oh the Deadwood stage is

A comin' on over the crest

Like a homin' pigeon

That's a hankerin' after it's nest

Twenty three miles we've covered today

So whip crack away

Whip crack away whip crack away

The wheels go turnin' round

Homeward bound

Can't you hear 'em hummin'

Happy times are comin' for to stay hey

We'll be home tonight by

The light of the silvery moon

And my heart's a thumpin' like a mandolin

A plunkin' a tune

When I get home I'm fixin' to stay

So whip crack away

Whip crack away whip crack away

Whip crack away

Whip crack away whip crack away

Introducin' Henry Miller

Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla

Ain't a showman and he's smarter

Operates the Golden Garter

Where the cream of Deadwood city come to dine

And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mine

Hi Joe say where d'you get them fancy clothes

I know off some fella's laundry line

Hi beau aren't you the Prairie Rose

Smellin' like a watermelon vine

Here's the man the sheriff watches

On his gun there's more

Than twenty seven notches

On the draw there's no one faster

And you're flirtin' with
