Riders In the Sky

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

An old cowpoke went ridin' 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

Upon through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draw

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

The Ghost herd in the sky

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel

Their horns was 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-aie, 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 they ain't caught them yet

'Cause they've got to ride forever on the range up in the sky

On horses snorting fire as they ride on hear them cry

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

Ghost riders in the sky

As the riders rode 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

A-trying to catch that Devil's across these endless skies

Yippie-yi-aie, Yippie-yi-oh!

Ghost riders in the sky
