We made along Red River Watched the as they bedded down 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 was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance the mountains there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I use some rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are restless God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
clouds 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 pony 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 stampede
Then I awake and I look 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 sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
