(Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away ) (Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away ) (Da-da-da-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum-dee-dum-dee-dum-dum-dum) (Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away ) (The Deadwood Stage!.....The Deadwood Stage!.....The Deadwood Stage!) 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 We’re headin' 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 the 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 The wheels go turning round, homeward-bound Can’t you hear them hummin’ Happy times are comin’ fer to stay, hey We’ll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon And my heart’s a-thumpin’ like a mandolin a-plunkin’ a tune When I get home, I’m fixin’ to stay So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away Whip-crack away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away (Here they be, here they be, how’s about a welcome) (A peaceful sorta welcome for the gang.....*Gunshots*) Oh, the Deadwood stage is finally home again (Well, exscuse my stammer, if it ain’t Calamity Jane) (Hiya Calam, what ya’ bring us today?) (New rubber boots, ten-dollar suits?) (Things to crochet?) Beads that sparkle like a prism Snake oil for your rheumatism Calico and gingham for the girls Gumdrops made up in Chicargy Gum drops just a trifle soggy And genuine string of artificial pearls Here’s a hat from Cincinatti Same as Adelina Patti Wore in every famous concert hall Cast your eye on Dr Boer’s Patent-pending hair-restorer Guaranteed to grow hair on a billiard ball Introducin' Henry Miller Just as busy as a fizzy sasparilla Ain’t a showman any 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 Hi Joe, say, where d’ya get them fancy clothes I know, off some fella’s laundry line Hi Beau, aren’t you the prairie rose Smellin’ like a watermelon vine Here’s the 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 flirtin' 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 Oh, my throat’s 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 (Drinks on the house, drinks on the house) Set ‘em up Joe ********** I'VE GOT A HIVE FULL OF HONEY Performed by Dick Wesson I've got two wonderful arms I've got two wonderful lips I'm over twenty one, and I'm free!
