Ghost Riders In The Sky

Lyrics

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day,
 Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
 When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw,
 A ploughin' thru the ragged skies
 And up a cloudy draw.
 Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
 
 The ghost herd in the sky.
 Their brands were still on fire and their hooves wuz made of steel,
 Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
 A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered thru the sky,
 For he saw the riders comin' hard
 And he heard their mournful cry.
 Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
 Ghost riders in the sky.
 Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred and shirts all soaked
 with sweat,
 They're ridin' hard to atch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
 'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
 On horses snortin' fire
 As they ride on, hear their cry.
 Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
 Ghost riders in the sky.
 As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name,
 "If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range,
 Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
 A-try'ng to catch the devil's herd
 Across these endless skies."
 Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o,
 The ghost herd in the sky.
