Stampede
TT 009
Open
Sides Face Grand Square
We made camp along Red River
Watched the cattle as they bedded down
Back at the wagons, right after supper
Spread our bedrolls on the ground, circle left
And me and Willie, we took the night guard
Left alemande, swing and promenade
The prairie moon, was blazin' silver
No chance tonight for a stampede
Figure 1+2
All those heads square thru you count it four hands
Find your corner lady do a dosado
Everybody swing thru, all the boys run right
Bend your line, right and left thru and turn
You pass the ocean, all the boys cross fold
Swing your corner and you all promenade
* Those longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless
* God help us all, if they stampede
Figure 3+4
* In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin'
* Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
Break
Sides Face Grand Square
Smell the rain, hear the thunder
The midnight sky, turns black as death
The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur
It's rank and strong, as Satan's breath, circle left
The cattle rise up, and go to runnin'
Left alemande, swing and promenade
And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin'
"Hey Stampede!"
Close
Sides Face Grand Square
Then I awake, and I look around me
I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground
Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire
I was only dreamin', what's that sound, circle left
And I feel the earth tremble underneath me
Left alemande, swing and promenade
And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin'
"Hey Stampede!"
