(Ghost) Riders In the Sky

Lyrics

An old cowboy 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
 Plowin' through the ragged skies
 And up the cloudy draw
 Their brands were still on fire
 And their hooves were made of steel
 Their horns were black and shiny
 And their hot breath he could feel
 A bolt of fear went through him
 As they thundered through the sky
 For he saw the riders coming hard
 And he heard their mournful cry
 Yippie-yi-o
 Yippie-yi-yay
 Ghost riders in the sky
 ♪
 Their faces gaunt
 Their eyes were blurred
 Their shirts all soaked with sweat
 He's riding hard to catch that herd
 But he ain't caught 'em yet
 'Cause they've got to ride forever
 On that range up in the sky
 On horses snorting fire
 As they ride on, hear their cry
 As the riders loped on by him
 He heard one call his name
 'If you wanna save your soul
 From hell a-riding on our range
 Then, cowboy, change your ways today
 Or with us you will ride
 Trying to catch the devil's herd
 Across these endless skies
 Yippie-yi-o
 Yippie-yi-yay
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Ghost riders in the sky
