We camp along Red River Watched the as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the sage never smelled so The prairie moon was silver No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance the mountains there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use rest
Then all at once, the wind directions The clouds rolls in behind the These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's rank and strong, it's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and the lead And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the rain mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the longhorns brush me And I can feel the demons through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the flash of light, I can see the comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in this
Then I and I look around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I the earth tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
