The Deadwood Stage (Whip-Crack-Away!) (with Ray Heindorf & Warner Bros. Orchestra)

[00:03.89] Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-rollin' on over the plains
[00:08.06] With the curtains flappin' and the driver a-slappin' the reins
[00:12.56] A beautiful sky, a wonderful day
[00:16.85] Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
[00:20.71] Oh, the Deadwood stage is a-headin' on over the hills
[00:25.27] Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills
[00:29.71] Dangerous land, no time to delay
[00:33.32] So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
[00:37.24] We're headin' straight for town
[00:39.25] Loaded down with a fancy cargo
[00:42.31] Care of Wells and Fargo, Illinois, boy!
[00:46.25] Oh, the Deadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crest
[00:50.68] Like a homin' pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its nest
[00:55.13] 23 miles we've covered today
[00:59.06] So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
[01:02.95] The wheels go turnin' round, homeward bound
[01:05.79] Can't you hear 'em humming?
[01:07.92] Happy times are comin' through to stay, hey!
[01:11.76] We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon
[01:15.97] And my heart's a-thumpin' like a mandolin a-plunkin' a tune
[01:20.45] When I get home, I'm fixin' to stay
[01:24.36] So, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
[01:29.10] Whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away, whip-crack-away
[01:33.60]
[01:35.86]
[01:51.47] Introducin' Henry Miller
[01:54.83] Just as busy as a fizzy sarsparilla
[01:58.10] Ain't a showman and he's smarter, operates the Golden Garter
[02:01.47] Where the cream of Deadwood City come to dine
[02:05.15] And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of mine
[02:10.52] Hi, Joe, say, where'd you get them fancy clothes?
[02:14.10] I know, off some fella's laundry line
[02:17.46] Hi, Beau, aren't you the Prairie Rose
[02:20.71] Smellin' like a watermelon vine?
[02:25.67] Here's the man that Sheriff watches
[02:28.91] On his gun, there's more than 27 notches
[02:32.56] On the draw, there's no one faster and you're flirtin' with disaster
[02:35.68] When Bill Hickok's reputation you malign
[02:39.39] And I'm glad to say he's a very good friend of a friend of mine
[02:47.27] Oh, my throat's as dry as a desert thistle in May
[02:51.30] In the Golden Garter, gonna wet my whistle today
[02:55.83] Last to the bar's a three-legged crow
[03:00.01] Set 'em up Joe, set 'em up Joe, set 'em up Joe
[03:04.31] Set 'em up Joe
[03:08.63]
