Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And 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
A ploughin' through the ragged skies
And up the cloudy draw
[Verse 2]
Hi ay, yippee yi oh
Ghost herd in the sky
[Verse 3]
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 comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry
[Verse 4]
Hi ay, yippee yi oh
Ghost riders in the sky
[Verse 5]
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
If you wanna save your soul from hell a-ridin' on our range
Then cowboy, change your ways today or with us, you will ride
A-tryin' to catch the devil's herd
Across these endless skies
[Verse 6]
Hi ay, yippee yi oh
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippee yi oh
