Pack up the gear, jump in the car,

Head down the road and it’s not too far


Doodle, oodle, oodle, oodle, do, do, do,

to the Williams Lake Stampede 

Come along friends and see part of the last frontier with me

We’ll pack our gear and head for the rodeo

We’ll camp outside of town right next to the big fairground

We’re gonna see the sights at the Williams Lake Stampede 

They’ll be comin from

Sugar Cane, Horsefly, Kleena Kleene, Alkali, Prince George and Quesnel

They’ll be comin from

Soda Creek, Cache Creek, Anahim, Bella Coola, Lillooet, you know darn well

They’ll come from far and wide to have a little drink and watch the cowboys ride

doodle oodle oodle oodle do do do at the Williams Lake Stampede 


Those broncs from Mulvahill they’ll test a cowboy’s skill

We’ll watch them ride those mean old Brahma bulls

We’ll shake hands with old friends that we’re glad to see again

We’re gonna meet them there at the Williams Lake Stampede 


There’s a pretty girl I know there, big brown eyes and long black hair

As the guitars play we’ll dance beneath the stars

But at noon when I awake I might feel my poor head ache

  1. 1.
    From the night before at the Williams Lake Stampede 


They’ll be comin from

  Kersley, South Fort, Lone Bute, Little Fort, the Gang Ranch and Hanceville

They’ll be comin from

  Red Rock, Nicola, Kamloops, Savona, 100 Mile, yes they will

They’ll come from far and wide to have a little drink and watch the cowboys ride

Singin doodle oodle oodle oodle do do do at the Williams Lake Stampede 

They’ll be comin from

  Sugar Cane, Horsefly, Kleena Kleene, Prince George and Quesnel

They’ll be comin from

  Soda Creek, Cache Creek, Anahim, Bella Coola, Lillooet, you know darn well

They’ll come from far and wide, bring all the kids, watch the cowboys ride

at the Williams Lake Stampede

Come to the Williams Lake Stampede
