We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as bedded down Back at the wagons, right after We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the night And the sage smelled so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I use some rest
Then all at once, the shifts directions The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are restless God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls They mix together, the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the racin' through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the flash of light, I can see the comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in this
Then I and I look around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
