We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they bedded at the wagons, right after supper We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the night 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
all at once, the wind shifts directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, hear the The sky, turns black as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's rank and strong, Satan'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!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn the air to mud I the longhorns 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 cattle Lord I know I'm gonna die in stampede
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my and I'm layin' on the ground Over there's the wagon and there's the I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the midnight sky begins to And from the blackness I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
