We made camp along Red Watched the as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right after We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind shifts The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds These cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if they
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls They mix together, the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the demons racin' through my
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 bedroll and I'm on the ground Over there's the and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the earth underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
