We made camp along Red Watched the cattle as bedded down Back at the wagons, after supper We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the sage never smelled so The prairie moon was silver No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance the mountains there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I use some rest
Then all at once, the wind directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These cattle, are gettin' restless God us all, if they stampede
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, black as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle up and go to runnin' I spur my on and take 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' my blood
Then all at once, my pony We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I know I'm die in this stampede
Then I and I look around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
