We camp along Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, right supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the never smelled so sweet The prairie moon was blazin' No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I use some rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's rank and strong, it's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
clouds rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the brush against me And I can feel the demons racin' my blood
Then all at once, my pony We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the flash of light, I can see the comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in stampede
Then I and I look around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm on the ground there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
