An old cow poke 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 the cloudy draw
Yippee- -yay
Yippee- -yo
The Ghost Herd in the Sky
Their brands
Were still on fire
And their hoofs
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 they saw them
Riders coming hard
And they heard their mournful cry
Yippee- -yay
Ghost Riders in the Sky
Their faces gone
Their eyes were blurred
Their shirts
All soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard
To catch that herd
But they ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they got
To ride forever
In that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire
As they ride
They hear their cry
Yippee- -yay
Ghost Riders in the Sky
As the riders loped on by him
They heard one call his name
'lf you want to
Save your soul from ****
All ridin' on our range
Then cowboy
Change your ways today
Or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch
The devil's herd
Across the endless sky'
Yippee- -yay Yippee- -yay
Yippee--yo Yippee- -yo
Ghost Riders in the Sky
