Deadwood Stage (From Calamity Jane)

Deadwood Stage - Various Artists

Written by：Sammy Fain/Paul Webster

Oh the deadwood stage is a rolling on over the plains

With the curtains flapping and the driver slapping the reins

A beautiful sky a wonderful day

Whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

Oh the deadwood stage is a heading 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 heading straight for town loaded down

With a fancy cargo care of wells and fargo illinois boy

Oh the deadwood stage is a coming on over the crest

Like a homing pigeon that's a hankering after it's nest

Twenty three miles we've covered today

So whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

The wheels go turning round homeward bound

Cangt you hear'em humming

Happy times are coming for to stay hey

We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon

And my heart's a thumping like a mandolin a plunking a tune

When I get home I'm fixing to stay

So whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

Whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

Introducing henry miller just as busy as a fizzy sarsparilla

Aingt 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 arengt you the prairie rose

Smelling 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 flirting with disaster

When bill hickok's reputation you malign

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

Oh my throats as dry as a desert thistle in may

In the golden garter I'm gonna wet my whistle today

Last to the bar is a three legged crow

Set'em up joe set'em up joe set'em up joe

Set'em up joe
