Yippy-i-ae
Yippy-i-oh
The ghost riders in the sky
And ole' 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-plowin' through the ragged
skies and up a cloudy draw
Yippy-i-oh
Yippy-i-ae
The ghost herd in the sky
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
Yippy-i-oh
Yippy-i-ae
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt
Their eyes were blurred
And shirts all soaked
with sweat
They're ridin' hard to
catch that herd
But they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they gotta ride forever
on that range up in the sky
On horses snortin'
flame and fire
As they ride on
Hear them cry
Yippy-i-ae
Yippy-i-oh
Ghost riders in the sky
The riders loped on by a man
He heard one call his name
If you wanna save your soul
from **** a-ridin' on our range
Then cowboy change your
ways today
Or with us you will ride
A-tryin' catch the devil's herd
across these endless skies
Yippy-i-oh
Yippy-i-ae
Ghost riders in the sky
