The Black Hills of Dakota-Deadwood Stage (From "Calamity Jane") (Reprise)

The Black Hills of Dakota-Deadwood Stage (Reprise) - West End Concert Orchestra/Gemma Craven

Take me back to the black hills

The black hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country

That I love

Lost my heart in the black hills

The black hills of Dakota

Where the pines are so high

That they kiss the sky above

And when I get that lonesome feelin'

And I'm miles away from home

I hear the voice of the mystic mountains

Callin' me back home

Take me back to the black hills

The black hills of Dakota

To the beautiful Indian country

That I love

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

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 annoy boy

Oh the Deadwood stage is a comin' on over the crest

Like a homin' pigeon that's a hankerin' after its 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 them 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

Slamatour
