We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the night And the never smelled so sweet The moon was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the shifts directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I my pony on and take the lead And across the herd, I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
Dust rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the demons through my blood
Then all at once, my stumbles 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 Over there's the and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's sound?
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
