AN OLD COWBOY
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
PLOWIN' THROUGH
THE RAGGED SKIES
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
COMIN' HARD
AND HE HEARD THEIR
MOURNFUL CRY
YIPPIE YI OH OH OH
YIPPIE YI AY AY AY AY
GHOST RIDERS
IN THE SKY
12 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
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 SNORTIN' 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
TRYIN' TO CATCH
THE DEVIL'S HERD
ACROSS THESE
ENDLESS SKIES
YIPPIE YI OH OH OH
YIPPIE YI AY AY AY AY AY
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
GHOST RIDERS IN
THE SKY
GHOST RIDERS IN THE SKY
