We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as they down at the wagons, right after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage smelled so sweet The prairie moon was silver No tonight 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 could use rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God us all, if they stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, black as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I my pony on and take the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the rain mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the brush against me And I can feel the demons through my blood
Then all at once, my pony We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the flash of light, I can see the comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in this
I awake and I look around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was dreamin', but what's that sound?
Then I feel the earth underneath me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
