We made camp along Red Watched the as they bedded down Back at the wagons, after supper We spread our bedrolls on the
And me and Willie, we the night guard And the sage smelled so sweet The prairie was blazin' silver No chance for a stampede
Way yonder, off in the distance the mountains there in the west Did I see lightnin', did I hear My mind is weary, I 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 they
the rain, hear the thunder The midnight sky, black as death The crashes, smell the sulfur It's rank and strong, it's Satan's
The rise up and go to runnin' I spur my pony on and the lead And across the herd, I can hear yellin' Hey stampede!
Dust clouds rise, as the falls mix together, turn the air to mud I the longhorns brush against me And I can feel the 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 cattle I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
Then I awake and I look me I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the there's the wagon and there's the campfire I was only dreamin', but that sound?
Then I feel the earth tremble me As the midnight sky to bleed And from the blackness I can hear Willie Hey stampede!
