We made camp along Red the cattle as they bedded down Back at the wagons, right supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage smelled so sweet 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 is weary, I could use some rest
Then all at once, the wind directions The rolls in behind the tumbleweeds longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless God help us all, if stampede
Smell the rain, hear the The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur It's and strong, it's Satan's breath
The cattle rise up and go to I spur my pony on and take the And across the herd, I can Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust rise, as the rain falls mix together, turn the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can the demons racin' through my blood
all at once, my pony stumbles We hit the ground, I up to my knees In the of light, I can see the cattle comin' Lord I know I'm die in this stampede
Then I awake and I around 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 that
Then I the earth tremble underneath me As the midnight sky to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
