"Whistle me up a melody, whistle me back where I want to be.
Whistle a tune that will carry me to Tombstone Territory"

That's all that I remember!

sorry to be so late but I think it went like this

Whistle me up a melody, whistle me back where I want to be.
Whistle a tune that will carry me to Tombstone Territory.
If your past has run afoul of the law it's a handy place to be.
Cause your future's just as good as your draw in Tombstown Territory.

Then the first two lines are repeated. This is as I remember them.

That's all you need to remember, unless you want to bore someone to death.
