Ghostriders in the sky<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

An old cowboy went riding out,<\/strong><\/span>
\none dark and windy day<\/strong><\/span>
\nUpon a ridge he rested as,<\/strong><\/span>
\nhe went along his way<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen all at once a mighty herd,<\/strong><\/span>
\nof red-eyed cows he saw<\/strong><\/span>
\nA-plowin’ through the ragged sky,<\/strong><\/span>
\nand up a cloudy draw<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Their brands were still on fire,<\/strong><\/span>
\nand their hooves were made of steel<\/strong><\/span>
\nTheir horns were black and shiny,<\/strong><\/span>
\nand their hot breath, he could feel<\/strong><\/span>
\nA bolt of fear went through him,<\/strong><\/span>
\nas they thundered through the sky<\/strong><\/span>
\nFor he saw the riders coming hard,<\/strong><\/span>
\nand he heard their mournful cry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yippee-ai-oh,<\/strong><\/span>
\nyippee-ai-ay<\/strong><\/span>
\nGhost riders in the sky<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred,<\/strong><\/span>
\ntheir shirts, all soaked with sweat<\/strong><\/span>
\nHe’s ridin’ hard, to catch that herd<\/strong><\/span>
\nbut he ain’t caught ’em yet<\/strong><\/span>
\n(‘Cause\u2019) They’ve got to ride forever on<\/strong><\/span>
\nthat range, up in the sky<\/strong><\/span>
\nOn horses sportig’ fire,<\/strong><\/span>
\nas they ride on hear their cry<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As the riders loped on by him,<\/strong><\/span>
\nhe heard, one call his name<\/strong><\/span>
\nIf you want, to save your soul from hell,<\/strong><\/span>
\na ridin’ on our range<\/strong><\/span>
\nThen cowboy, change your ways today<\/strong><\/span>
\nor with us, you will ride<\/strong><\/span>
\nTrying to catch the devil’s herd,<\/strong><\/span>
\nacross these endless skies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Yippee-ai-oh, yippee-ai-ay<\/strong><\/span>
\nGhost riders in the sky<\/strong><\/span>
\nGhost riders in the sky<\/strong><\/span>
\nGhost riders in the sky<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
