The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away!)

In the style of

Doris Day

Lyrics

oh the deadwood stage is
a-rollin' on over the plains

with the curtains flappin' and
the driver slappin' the reins

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 homing 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 'em humming

happy times are coming

for to stay hey

we'll be home tonight by the

light of the silvery moon

and our hearts are
thumpin' 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

lntroducin' henry miller
just as busy as

a fizzy sarsparilla

he's 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
fellow's laundry line

hi beau aren't you
the prairie rose

smelling like a
watermelon vine

here's a man
the sheriff watches

on his gun there's
more 'n 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 gonna
wet my whistle today

last to the bar’s
a three-legged crow

set ‘em up joe set ‘em up joe
set ‘em up joe

set ‘em up joe
