We made along Red River Watched the cattle as they down Back at the wagons, right after We spread our on the ground
And me and Willie, we took the guard And the sage never so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No tonight for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance Towards the mountains there in the Did I see lightnin', did I thunder My mind is weary, I could use some
Then all at once, the wind shifts The clouds rolls in the tumbleweeds These longhorn cattle, are gettin' God help us all, if they
Smell the rain, the thunder The midnight sky, turns as death The lightnin' crashes, the sulfur 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 Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the rain They mix together, the air to mud I feel the longhorns against me And I can feel the demons racin' my blood
Then all at once, my pony 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 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 feel the earth underneath me As the sky begins to bleed And the blackness I can hear Willie yellin' Hey stampede!
