Stampede! Lightning a flashin' everywhere Thunder a rollin' through the air Wind and rain, cattle look insane This herd might stampede tonight. Clouds are drivin' cross the moonless sky Cattle a rollin' frightened eyes. Keep 'em close and tight, Cowboy pray with all you might That this herd won't stampede tonight. There's lightning, there's thunder There's wind and rain, stampede! Ten thousand cattle on the run Pray for an early morning sun Lightning stabs the skies Cattle drop and never rise, stampede! Ten thousand cattle in flight The devil's ridin' herd tonight The thunder of the hooves and the fury from the skies Don't get out in front or every man dies. Cold black clouds like funeral shrouds Roll down their icy threat And we face to fight this raging night With odds on the side death. For a stampeding herd When it's panic is stirred Is a thing for a cowboy to shun For no mortal man ever holds command When the cattle are on the run Stampede! The rising of the wind sends out its wail Drivin' cattle down an endless trail Rollin' thunder booms sending cattle to their doom Stampede! Stampede! Stampede!....
