Stage Driver
As sure as I'm a sinner
Before I get much thinner
I'll take a job driving stage for Uncle Sam
And regardless of the weather
I'll put on my patent leather
So people won't know how poor I am
We're up and away
Before the light of day
From rapids to reservations
We'll get to our destination
Forty miles down the track
In the town of Hackensack
Where the lady's forty, fat and fair
She's got pretty daughters three
And they're as hot as they can be
So my hands are always cold when I get there
We're up and away
Before the light of day
From rapids to reservations
We'll get to our destination
Beads and lace for ladies
Blankets for the babies
Flour from roller mills
Fiddle strings, butter and
Pills
In the dusk light we can see
The town of old Bemidji
And the town's folk gathering out in the snow
They want tobacco, soap and tea
And jugs of jubilee
But there's no time here to drink we have to go
We're up and away
Before the light of day
From rapids to reservations
We'll get to our destination
We'll get to our destination
We'll get to our destination
NOTE: This song has both a lyrical and an instrumental version.
