Oh the D Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains,
With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the A reins.
Beautiful A7 sky, a D wonderful day.
A Whip crack-away, A whip crack-away, A whip crack a Dway!
Oh the D Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hills,
Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine A quills.
Dangerous A7 land, no D time to delay.
So, A whip crack away, A whip crack away, A whip crack aDway!
We're headin' G straight for town, D loaded down,
A with a fancy D cargo,
A Care of Wells and G Fargo, IlliAnois A7 boy!
Oh the DDeadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crest,
Like a homing pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its A nest.
Twenty three A7 miles we've D covered today.
So, A whip crack away, A whip crack away, A whip crack aDway!
The wheels go G turnin' round, D homeward bound,
A Can't you hear 'em D humming,
A Happy times are G coming for to A stay A7 hey!
We'll be D home tonight by the light of the silvery moon,
And our hearts are thumpin' like a mandolin plunking a A tune.
When I get A7 home, I'm D fixing to stay.
So, A whip crack-away, A whip crack-away, A whip crack aDway.
