We made camp Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, 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 over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My is weary, I could use some rest
all at once, the wind shifts directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's Satan's
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and take the And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the rain mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the demons through 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 I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I around me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the wagon and the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the earth underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
