We made camp Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the sage never so sweet The prairie moon was silver No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My is weary, I could use some rest
Then all at once, the shifts directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds These cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, black as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and take the And across the herd, I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
clouds rise, as the rain 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 stumbles 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 awake and I look 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 sky begins to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
