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
A 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 shot through him
As he looked up in the sky
For he saw the riders
comin' hard and he
heard their mournful cry
Yippee yi ya yippee yi yo
Ghost riders in the sky
The cowpokes loped on
past him and he heard
one call his name
If you want to save your soul
from **** 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
Yippee yi ya yippee yi yo
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippee yi ya yippee yi yo
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Yippee yi ya
