The Deadwood Stage Lyrics

Oh the Deadwood stage is rolling on over the plains
With the curtains flapping and the driver slapping the reins
Beautiful sky a wonderful day
Whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away
Oh the Deadwood stage is 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 coming on over the crest
Like a homing pigeon that's hankering after its 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 can't you hear them 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 thumping like a mandolin 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
