We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as 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 prairie moon was silver No tonight for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are restless God us all, if they stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, black as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I my pony on and take the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
clouds rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the demons racin' through my
all at once, my pony 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 gonna die in this
Then I and I look around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the there's the wagon and there's 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 I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
