That this herd wonât stampede tonight

Verse 3.
Ten thousand cattle on the run
Pray for an early morning sun
Lightning stabs the skies
Cattle drop and never rise, stampede!
Verse 4.
Ten thousand cattle in flight
The devilâs ridinâ herd tonight
The thunder of the hooves and the fury from the skies
Donât get out in front or every man dies

Verse 5. (Spoken)
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
Verse 6. (Spoken)
For a stampeding herd
When itâs 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
(sung) Stampede!
Verse 7.
The rising of the wind sends out its wail
Drivinâ cattle down an endless trail
Rollinâ thunder booms sending cattle to their doom
Stampede!
Repeat Bridge
Stampede!
