Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-Rollin' on over the plains With the curtains flapping' and the driver slapping' the reins A beautiful sky! A wonderful day! So, Whip crack away! Whip crack away! Whip crack away! Oh! The Deadwood Stage is a-heading' 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 heading' straight for town Loaded down With a fancy cargo Care of Wells and Fargo Illinois We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon And our hearts are thumping' like a banjo playing a tune Twenty-three miles we travelled today So, whip crack away! Whip crack away! Whip crack away! Wheels go turning' round Homeward bound Can't you hear them humming Happy times are coming For to stay Hey! We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon And our hearts are thumping' like a banjo playing a tune When I get home, I'm fixing to stay So, whip crack away! Whip crack away! Whip crack away! When I get home, I'm fixing to stay So, Whip crack away! Whip crack away! Whip crack away!
