We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded Back at the wagons, right supper We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the night And the sage smelled so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use rest
Then all at once, the shifts directions The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are restless God us all, if they stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The sky, turns black as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, it'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!
Dust clouds rise, as the rain They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the demons racin' through my
all at once, my pony stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the flash of light, I can see the cattle Lord I know I'm gonna die in this
Then I and I look around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm on the ground Over the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
