Ghostriders in the sky
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-plowin’ 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
Yippee-ai-oh,
yippee-ai-ay
Ghost riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,
their shirts, all soaked with sweat
He’s ridin’ 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 sportig’ 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 ridin’ 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
Yippee-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
