We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the sage never smelled so The prairie was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder 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 gettin' God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The sky, turns black as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and take the And across the herd, I can 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
Then all at once, my stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the flash of light, I can see the comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in this
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the earth underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
