Lyrics

[00:33.35] We made camp along Red River
[00:37.30] Watched the cattle as they bedded down
[00:40.91] Back at the wagons, right after supper
[00:46.17] We spread our bedrolls on the ground
[00:49.04] And me and Willie, we took the night guard
[00:52.92] And the sage never smelled so sweet
[00:57.06] The prairie moon, was blazin' silver
[01:00.82] No chance tonight for a stampede
[01:06.82] Way over yonder, off in the distance
[01:10.69] Towards the mountains there in the west
[01:14.76] Did I see lightnin', did I hear thunder
[01:18.63] My mind is weary, I could use some rest
[01:22.69] Then all at once, the wind shifts directions
[01:26.63] The clouds roll in behind the tumbleweeds
[01:30.63] These longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless
[01:34.45] God help us all, if they stampede
[01:40.63] Smell the rain, hear the thunder
[01:44.57] The midnight sky, turns black as death
[01:48.63] The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur
[01:52.38] It's rank and strong, it's Satan's breath
[01:56.51] The cattle rise up, and go to runnin'
[02:00.26] I spur my pony on and take the lead
[02:04.26] And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin'
[02:08.20] Hey Stampede!
[02:46.26] Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls
[02:50.13] They mix together, turn the air to mud
[02:53.94] I feel the longhorns brush against me
[02:57.76] And I can feel the demons racin' through my blood
[03:01.88] Then all at once, my pony stumbles
[03:05.88] We hit the ground, I rise up to my knees
[03:09.76] In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin'
[03:13.69] Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
[03:19.94] Then I awake, and I look around me
[03:23.82] I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground
[03:27.63] Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire
[03:31.63] I was only dreamin', but what's that sound?
[03:37.70] Then I feel the earth tremble underneath me
[03:41.70] As the midnight sky begins to bleed
[03:45.57] And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin'
[03:49.51] Hey Stampede
