We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, right after We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never smelled so The prairie was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I use some rest
Then all at once, the wind directions The clouds in behind the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if they
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, black as death The lightnin' crashes, smell the It's rank and strong, Satan's breath
The cattle up and go to runnin' I spur my on and take the lead And the herd, I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust rise, as the rain falls mix together, turn the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the demons through my blood
all at once, my pony stumbles We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the flash of light, I can see the cattle Lord I know I'm gonna die in stampede
Then I and I look 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 sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
