We made camp Red River the cattle as they bedded down Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the never smelled so sweet The prairie moon was silver No chance for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use rest
Then all at once, the shifts directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God us all, if they stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's Satan's
The rise up and go to runnin' I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
Dust 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' my blood
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 I'm gonna die in this stampede
I awake 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 dreamin', but what's that sound?
I feel the earth tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
