sammy fain - the deadwood stage lyrics

Loading...

[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!
