We made camp Red River the cattle as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right after We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the never smelled so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, 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 clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn 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 cattle I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I and I look around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
