We made along Red River Watched the cattle as bedded down at the wagons, right after supper We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage smelled so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I could use rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, the thunder The sky, turns black as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's breath
The cattle up and go to runnin' I my pony on and take the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the racin' through my blood
Then all at once, my pony We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
I feel the earth tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
