We made camp along Red the cattle as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right supper 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 chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains 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 rolls in behind the These longhorn cattle, are restless God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, hear the The sky, turns black as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's Satan's
The cattle rise up and go to I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can the demons racin' through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles 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 bedroll and I'm on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the midnight sky to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
