Doris Day: "The Deadwood Stage"



from "Calamity Jane " (1953)

the Deadwood Stage is a-rolling on over the plains
with the curtains flapping and the driver slapping the reins
beautiful sky! a wonderful day!
so whip crack-away! whip crack-away! whip crack-away!

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!
