We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the night And the sage smelled so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I use some rest
Then all at once, the wind directions The clouds rolls in behind the These longhorn cattle, are restless God help us all, if stampede
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 up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and 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 racin' through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I rise up to my 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 Over the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
