Doris Day - Deadwood Stage (Whip Crack Away, Calamity Jane) Lyrics
Oh the Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plainsWith the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the reinsA beautiful sky, a wonderful dayWhip crack-away, whip crack-away, whip crack-awayOh the Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hillsWhere the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quillsDangerous land, no time to delaySo whip crack-away, whip crack-away, whip crack-awayWe're headin' straight for town, loaded downWith a fancy cargo, care of Wells and Fargo, Illinois - Boy!Oh the Deadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crestLike a homin' pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its nestTwenty-three miles we've covered todaySo whip crack-away, whip crack-away, whip crack-awayThe wheels go turnin' round, homeward boundCan't you hear 'em hummin'Happy times are comin' for to stay - hey!We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moonAnd my heart's a-thumpin' like a mandolin a-plunkin' a tuneWhen I get home, I'm fixin' to staySo whip crack-away, whip crack-away, whip crack-awayWhip crack-away, whip crack-away, whip crack-away...Introducin' Henry Miller, just as busy as a fizzy sarsparillaAin't a showman and he's smarter, operates the Golden GarterWhere the cream of Deadwood City come to dineAnd I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mineHi Joe, say where d'you get them fancy clothesI know, off some fella's laundry lineHi Beau, aren't you the Prairie RoseSmellin' like a watermelon vineHere's the man the Sheriff watchesOn his gun there's more than twenty-seven notchesOn the draw there's no-one faster and you're flirtin' wit
