We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as 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 moon was blazin' silver No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I use some rest
Then all at once, the wind shifts The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The crashes, smell the sulfur rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the racin' through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I and I look around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
