We camp along Red River the cattle as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right after We our bedrolls on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the night And the never smelled so sweet The prairie moon was blazin' No chance for a stampede
Way over yonder, off in the Towards the mountains in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My is weary, I could use some rest
Then all at once, the wind shifts The clouds rolls in behind the These cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns black as The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my on and take the lead And across the herd, I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
clouds rise, as the rain falls They mix together, the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the demons racin' through my
Then all at once, my pony We hit the ground, I rise up to my In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in stampede
Then I awake and I around me I'm in my bedroll and I'm on the ground Over the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but what's that
Then I feel the tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
