The Deadwood Stage

E
Oh the Deadwood stage is rolling on over the plains
                                                       B
With the curtains flapping and the driver slapping the reins
                E
Beautiful sky a wonderful day
B                                           E
Whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

E
Oh the Deadwood stage is heading on over the hills
                                                  B
Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine quills
                  E
Dangerous land no time to delay
   B                                           E
So whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

              A                 E           B            E
We're heading straight for town loaded down with a fancy cargo
A                 E         B      E
Care of Wells and Fargo Illinois - boy

       E
Oh the Deadwood stage is coming on over the crest
                                                B
Like a homing pigeon that's hankering after its nest
                         E
Twenty three miles we've covered today
   B                                           E
So whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away

              A             E              B                   E
The wheels go turning round homeward bound can't you hear them humming
A               E             B      E
Happy times are coming for to stay - hey

         E
We'll be home tonight by the light of the silvery moon
                                                       B
And our hearts are thumping like a mandolin plunking a tune
                    E
When I get home I'm fixing to stay
   B                                           E
So whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away
B                                           B  E
Whip crack away whip crack away whip crack away
