Lyrics

An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
 Along the ridge he rested as he went along his way
 When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
 A-plowing through the ragged brush 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 skies
 For he saw the riders coming hard, and he heard their mournful cry
 Yippie-yi-ay (yippie-yi-ay)
 Oh, yippie-yi-oh (yippie-yi-oh)
 Ghost riders in the sky

 Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred
 Their shirts all soaked with sweat
 They're riding hard to catch that herd, but theyt ain't caught 'em yet
 'Cause they'll have to ride forever on that range up in the sky
 On horses snorting fire as they ride on, hear them cry
 As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
 If you want to save your soul from hell 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-ay (yippie-yi-ay)
 Yippie-yi-oh (yippie-yi-oh)
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Ghost riders in the sky
 Ghost riders in the sky
