Doris Day — Deadwood Stage Whip-Crack-Away

[Verse 1] 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! [Verse 2] 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! [Chorus 1] We're headin' straight for town, loaded down, with a fancy cargo Care of Wells and Fargo, Illinois - Boy! [Verse 3] 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! [Chorus 2] The wheels go turnin' round, homeward bound Can't you hear 'em humming Happy times are coming for to stay - hey! [Verse 4] 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! [Verse 5] Introducin' Henry Miller Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] 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!
