We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as bedded down Back at the wagons, right after We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never smelled so The prairie moon was silver No chance for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the the mountains there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My is weary, I could use some rest
Then all at once, the wind shifts The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, black as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's and strong, it's 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!
clouds rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the demons through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the flash of light, I can see the cattle Lord I I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I and I look around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm on the ground there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
