We made camp along Red Watched the cattle as they bedded Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never so sweet 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 mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the 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 of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I 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 there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was dreamin', but what's that sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
