Doris Day – The Deadwood Stage Chords

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 a way!

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 and Fargo, Illinois boy.

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!

The wheels go turnin’ round, homeward bound,
Can’t you hear ’em 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 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 a way.
Whip crack away, whip crack away, whip crack a way!
