We made camp Red River 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 night And the sage smelled so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My is weary, I could use some rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds rolls in behind the longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my on and take the lead And across the herd, I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
clouds rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns brush me And I can feel the racin' through 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 I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was dreamin', but what's that sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
