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
Introducin' 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
Well 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 throat's 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.....
