We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded Back at the wagons, right supper We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never smelled so The moon was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind shifts The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The sky, turns 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 on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
Dust rise, as the rain falls They mix together, 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 know I'm gonna die in this
I awake and I look around 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
I feel the earth tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
