We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, after supper We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the night And the sage smelled so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the shifts directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and take the And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!

Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the earth underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the blackness I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
