We made camp along Red Watched the as they 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 never so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No chance tonight for a
Way yonder, off in the distance the mountains 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 shifts The clouds rolls in behind the longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and 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 racin' through my blood
all at once, my pony stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the flash of light, I can see the comin' I know 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 Over there's the and there's the campfire I was dreamin', but what's that sound?
I feel the earth tremble underneath me As the midnight sky begins to And from the I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
