[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 |
