We made camp Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded at the wagons, right after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the night And the never smelled so sweet The prairie moon was blazin' No tonight for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use some
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, turns black as The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The cattle up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and the lead And across the herd, I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the brush against me And I can the demons racin' 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 I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I the earth tremble underneath me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
