(Ghost) Riders In The Sky

Lyrics

Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
 Ghost riders in the sky
 An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day (yippie-I-ay)
 Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
 When all at once a mighty bunch of red eyed cows he saw
 Plowin' through the ragged skies, and up a cloudy draw
 Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs were made of steel (yippie-I-ay)
 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
 He saw the riders commin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry
 Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat (yippie-I-ay)
 They're ridin' hard to catch that herd, but they aint caught 'em yet'
 'Cause you've gotta ride forever on that range up in the sky
 On horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
 Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
 Ghost riders in the sky
 As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name (yippie-I-ay)
 If you want to save your soul from ever ridin' on our range
 Then cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride
 Tryin' to catch the devil's herd, across these endless skies
 Yippie-I-ay, yippie-I-o
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Ghost riders in the sky
