Ghost Riders In The Sky

Yippie yi oh
Yippie yi yay

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
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up a 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 oh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 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 want to 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 oh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky

Yippie yi oh
Yippie yi yay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
