We made camp Red River Watched the cattle as they down at the wagons, right after supper We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage smelled so sweet The prairie moon was blazin' No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains there in the 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 longhorn cattle, are gettin' God us all, if they stampede
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle 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 brush me And I can the demons racin' 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 comin' Lord I know I'm gonna die in stampede
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the Over there's the and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I the earth tremble underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And from the blackness I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
