The Deadwood Stage Composer(s): Sammy Fain - Paul Francis Webster Performer(s): Doris Day and multiple other artists
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-rolling on over the plains With the curtains flappin and the driver a-snappin the reins A 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
Were headed straight for town Loaded down with a fancy cargo Care of Wells & Fargo, Illinois, boy
Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-comin on over the crest Like a homing-pigeon thats a-hankerin after its nest Twenty-three miles weve covered today So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
Introducing Henry Miller Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla Aint a showman any smarter operates the Golden Garter When the cream of Deadwood City comes to dine And Im glad to say hes a friend of mine Hi Joe, say, where dya get them fancy clothes I know, off some fellas laundry line Hi Beau, arent you a prairie rose Smellin like a watermelon vine Heres a man the sheriff watches On his gun theres more than twenty-seven notches On the draw theres no one faster and youre flirting with disaster When Bill Hickoks reputation you malign And Im glad to say hes a very good friend of a friend of mine
