The Phantom Stage Goes By
Get along, get along, keep moving, get along, get along,
keep moving, get along, get along, keep moving
The Phantom Stage Goes By
As the voices circle high
Till it hits the bin
and crashes down the shale
And its horses screamed with pride
as they rumbled through the night
The phantom stage
that advanced the canyon trail
Get along, keep moving, get along, get along,
keep moving, get along, get along
The night stage out
of Canyon City
wrecked in 65
Eleven souls were on the porch
and not one left alive
Old timers used to shiver
when they heard the grisly tale
They said old Nick himself
that night was seen along the trail
The phantom stays, goes by
T 'was a gal the name of Sue,
that the trouble started through
And a box of golden nuggets,
so we're told
She had turned the gambler down,
and that night was leavin' town
So he planned to get the
woman and the gold
The phantom stays, goes by
As the vultures circle high
Till it hits the thin
and crashes down the shale
Horses scream with pride
as they rumble through the night
The phantom stays that much
through the canyon trail
Get get along, keep moving,
get along, get along
Keep moving, get along, get along
He waited on the canyon
as the lights was growing dim
The first shot hazed the driver
as the coach got to the rim
He'd lashed the maddened horses,
but they hadn't far to go
They slipped and overshot the rim
and disappeared below
The Phantom Stance
goes by
At dawn they set to ground,
but the wreck was never found
And when you pass the spot,
you're not alone
For at midnight on the trail,
they still lost those tell -the -tale
As they whispered that the
devil took his own
Keep walking on, keep moving on
The phantom stage goes by,
as the vultures sir, go high.
Till it hits the bin and
crashes down the shale,
and his fathers scream with pride
as they rumble through the night.
The phantom stage that
haunts the canyon trail.
No phantom stage that
haunts the canyon trail.
